Montenegro will terminate visa-free travel privileges for Russian citizens starting in 2026. In response, Russia has introduced a visa requirement for travelers from Montenegro, effective the same year.
As a result, Russian tourists will need to secure visas before visiting Montenegro. Similarly, Montenegrin citizens must obtain visas prior to traveling to Russia.
These reciprocal visa changes take effect in 2026, marking a new phase in travel regulations between Montenegro and Russia, according to Meduza as of October 14, 2026.
