Approval for the movement of a crew member who does not have a visa

If you have decided to visit Montenegro and leave a vessel in one of the Montenegrin marinas for a longer period, and some of your crew members do not have a visa, do not give up your plans, please contact the Yacht Agent Montenegro team.

Short term and long term berthing

A crew member of a foreign yacht who does not have the required visa during the stay of a yacht in the area of the border crossing or port may be granted a movement for a maximum of 90 days.

From year to year, Montenegro is increasingly turning to nautical tourism, which is why the number of owners who are interested in leaving their vessel to stay in one of the Montenegrin marinas increases (Marina Bar, Marina Budva, Marina Kotor, Porto Montenegro-Tivat).

The International Convention on the Safety of Human Life at Sea prescribes that a vessel, regardless of whether it sails or is in berth, must have a minimum number of crew members. The reason for this is to provide security and protection of the vessel itself (fire, storm) and the sea (oil spills).


Bearing this in mind, the Government of Montenegro has issued a legal solution that gives the crew member the possibility to regulate a stay in Montenegro without a visa and for more than 90 days. 


Approval is obtained by submitting an official request from the owner of the vessel.
With the official request for the approval of a temporary stay, a member of the crew would be obliged to provide the following evidence:
1) to have means of subsistence;
2) have a secure accommodation;
3) have health insurance;
4) to have a valid travel document or identity card issued by a competent authority of another state;
5) that he has not been imposed a ban on entering and staying in Montenegro (which is obtained by the Ministry of the Interior under official duty);
6) that in Montenegro he has not been convicted of a final sentence of imprisonment of up to six months in prison for a criminal offense prosecuted by official duty or the legal consequences of the conviction ceased (which is obtained by the Ministry of the Interior under official duty);
7) that in the country of origin he has not been convicted of an unconditional sentence of imprisonment for a term of more than six months for a criminal offense prosecuted by official duty or the legal consequences of the conviction have ceased;
8) there is no interference for reasons of national security, public order or public health (what is obtained by the Ministry of the Interior under official duty);
9) to provide proof of justification of the application for granting temporary residence (which would be a lease agreement for a yacht owner with a port in Montenegro for a period of 90 days and a corresponding confirmation that the alien is a member of the crew of a yacht).

If you have decided to leave your boat in one of the marinas in addition to your visit to Montenegro, please contact Yacht Agent Montenegro in order to reserve a link and conclude a lease contract as soon as possible. In addition to leasing, we are here to mediate in order for your crew members to be granted a movement permit in the area where the marina is located.
