Benefits of Montenegro Citizenship by Investment
Montenegrin citizenship by investment and a second passport from a European nation is an attractive option for many of our clients. However, it must be noted that although geographically in Europe, Montenegro is not part of the EU. Although it is striving to meet the EU requirements for accession it is not expected until at least 2025. Citizenship of an EU country carries a large premium in the market because of the settlement rights allowing citizens of any EU country to live anywhere within the EU. Obtaining citizenship in Montenegro at this stage for such a purpose would be speculative as to timescale and far from certain.
