Montenegro

How do Brazilian citizens apply for the Montenegro Digital Nomad Visa?

Worth knowing: Brazil sits on Montenegro's 90-day visa-free list, which gov.me states in plain terms: nationals of Brazil may enter, pass through and stay in Montenegro up to 90 days with a valid travel document, without a visa. A short-stay visa waiver agreement between the two states entered into force in 2016. That removes the entire first stage Chinese and Indian applicants have to solve, since Article 19 obliges only visa nationals to hold a visa before entry. The route is therefore single-step: fly in, then lodge the Article 61 application in person at the MUP regional unit for the municipality of stay, with biometrics taken at the counter. Article 61b also allows the form to be filed electronically through the Ministry's information system with scanned evidence, the applicant then reporting to the MUP within ten days of entering Montenegro for photo, fingerprints and signature. Diplomatic coverage is thin in the other direction: Montenegro has no resident embassy in Brazil and is covered from Buenos Aires, with only an honorary consulate in Sao Paulo, and Brazil covers Montenegro from its embassy in Belgrade. None of that sits on the permit's critical path, but it matters if anything goes wrong. On the financial side Brazilians get nothing: Montenegro is absent from the Receita Federal double taxation agreement list and Brazil is absent from Montenegro's treaty list, and Montenegro does not appear on the Ministerio da Previdencia Social's list of social security agreements, so there is no treaty relief on income and no contribution totalisation.
