About this Visa
This visa lets you start and run a business in Montenegro, a small European country. You own a local company and become director. It's one of Europe's easiest residency visas because you don't need much money or business experience. You get to live legally, work in your business, and eventually become a permanent resident or citizen. Your spouse and children can come with you. The visa is special because it's extremely cheap. Most European residency programs cost €250,000+. Montenegro only requires about €3,650.
