Everyone should comply with the measures put in place in Montenegro to limit the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

Land border crossings may close at short notice and entry to neighbouring countries may be subject to entry requirements.

Be prepared for your plans to change

No travel is risk-free during COVID. Countries may further restrict travel or bring in new rules at short notice, for example due to a new COVID-19 variant. Check with your travel company or airline for any transport changes which may delay your journey home.

Plan ahead and make sure you:

• can access money
• understand what your insurance will cover
• can make arrangements to extend your stay and be away for longer than planned

If you test positive for COVID-19 while in Montenegro you and your contacts will be required to self-isolate for 14 days. There is further information on this process in the Healthcare section below.

If you develop any coronavirus symptoms or are concerned about your health you should either go to a COVID health centre where an initial check will determine whether you should be tested for COVID-19 immediately or referred to a local specialist clinic, or contact the Institute of Public Health hotline 1616 from 8am to 8pm on weekdays and 10am to 4pm on weekends. Call handlers will be able to assess the risks you have been exposed to and provide further recommendations and instructions.

People requiring a PCR test for non-COVID reasons, such as admission to a hospital for an injury, can be tested at Hygienic and Epidemiological Departments of local health centres.

If you test positive for COVID-19 you and your contacts will be required to self-isolate for 14 days in your current accommodation where possible. A healthcare worker and a sanitary inspector will contact you using the phone number or email address you used for your COVID-19 test. The local authorities will inform the manager or owner of your accommodation of the need for you to self-isolate and advise them of the measures they will need to take. If you are unable to stay in your accommodation or find an alternative, local authorities will advise on where you can self-isolate. You will have to cover the costs of your accommodation, but SARS-CoV-2 medical treatment at state hospitals in Montenegro will be provided free of charge to all registered foreign tourists. See Registration. These measures apply to both children and adults.
