Do French passport holders need a visa for Montenegro?

Covers 11 passports and 80 destinations. Rules older than 30 days are flagged for re-check.

How this tool works

We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.

No visa. French passport holders can visit Montenegro for less than 90 days without a visa.

French nationals do not need a visa for stays of less than 90 days. A valid national identity card is sufficient for stays of less than 30 days; a passport is required for longer stays. Visitors staying with private individuals must register with the local tourism organization or foreigner inspector at the police station within 24 hours of arrival. Failure to register can result in a fine of at least €60.
