Entry

Before you join a yacht here

These points come from the marina and from an English translation of the Montenegro Law on Yachts.

Port of entryPorto Montenegro lists itself as an official port of entry with customs and immigration on site.
ArrivalA foreign yacht must go straight to a designated port of entry for border control, the vignette and the crew and passenger list.
Crew papersThe law lists proof of competency for the master and crew, consistent with STCW, among the documents a yacht must show.
No visaA crew member without a visa can get a pass of up to 90 days to move around the port area while the yacht is detained.

The law text is an undated translation hosted by a port agent and may be out of date. Check the current law and the rules for your passport.

Visas

Stays of up to 90 days

The Montenegro government says citizens of the European Union can stay up to 90 days with a passport. It lists other countries whose citizens can stay up to 90 days without a visa, among them Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. A long-stay visa D covers more than 90 days and needs proof of purpose, such as an employment contract. Check the rules for your passport.

Training

RYA courses at the marina

Porto Montenegro lists a crew training centre with RYA courses. The marina does not publish course prices or dates on the page we opened. Ask the marina for the current list.
