Montenegro does not have an embassy or consulate office in Pakistan. Therefore, all visa applications and other consulate-related services are not available within Pakistan. Those Pakistanis who want to travel to Montenegro OR want permanent residency in Montenegro will need to apply for their visas from Montenegro’s embassies or consulates located abroad, like Montenegro’s honorary consulate in New Delhi, India or through other regional missions.
1. Embassy / Consular Representation
- There is no official Montenegrin mission in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, or any other city in Pakistan.
- All consular matters—including visa applications, document attestation, and travel queries—are handled by Montenegro’s nearest missions in neighboring countries.
2. Visa Requirements for Pakistani Citizens
- Visa is mandatory for Pakistani passport holders traveling to Montenegro.
- Montenegro does not offer an e-visa or visa on arrival facility to Pakistanis.
- Applications must be submitted in person at a Montenegrin embassy or consulate abroad.
3. Visa-Free Entry with Other Valid Visas
Pakistani travelers who already have some other country’s visas can be eligible to enter Montenegro without applying for a separate Montenegro visa. This applies if you have:
- A valid Schengen visa
- A valid US visa
- A valid UK visa
- A valid Irish visa
- Or a residence permit for any of these regions
In such cases, entry to Montenegro is permitted for up to 30 days (or until the supporting visa/residence expires, whichever comes first).
4. Pakistani Visa for Montenegrin Citizens
- Citizens of Montenegro require a visa to enter Pakistan.
- The application process is done online through Pakistan’s official NADRA e-visa portal.
- In certain categories, particularly business travel, a Visa on Arrival may be available if travelers have pre-approved Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA).
5. Key Guidelines & Advice
- As we said, there is no Montenegrin embassy in Pakistan, the applicants should plan their trips well in advance to give some time for processing at a mission abroad.
- Always check the official Montenegrin government or embassy websites for the latest requirements before applying.
- For Pakistani travelers, holding a Schengen, US, UK, or Irish visa can make the process easier, as it may allow direct entry without a separate Montenegrin visa.
- Montenegrin citizens traveling to Pakistan are strongly advised to use the NADRA online visa system and avoid unauthorized agents or middlemen.
In conclusion, there is no Montenegrin embassy currently operating in Pakistan. All visa-related cases are handled through Montenegro’s embassies or consulates abroad. Pakistani applicants should apply from their country of origin, unless they already have a valid visa that makes them eligible for a short-term stay.
