Incorporated in 2009, we’ve worked across the nation and assisted hundreds of newcomers to Montenegro, connecting them to local communities and kickstarting their new lives and businesses.
Adriacom has been amazing at helping us set up all the things necessary for our new, peaceful lives in Montenegro in an easy and compliant way. They are 10x times better than previous service providers we had used in Portugal. They are flexible and open to assist with other areas such as housing and education, which is amazing!

The power of Adriacom lies in the team’s ability to swiftly adapt to challenges and anticipate problems before they occur. This has saved me lots of money and resources. I’ve been a client for over 5 years and I just can’t see myself running my small online business without them at this point.

My personal income tax rate has decreased to 15% (from previously 45%) by obtaining residency in Montenegro. My money goes a long way here, and even if I am not a big spender, I am finally able to save significant portions of my income. I am forever grateful for Adriacom’s support and mentorship.

I have a small sailboat, do I still qualify?

Must I spend a minimum number of days per year in Montenegro to maintain my residency status?
To maintain your temporary residence permit in Montenegro, you must not be absent for more than 90 consecutive days.
If you’ve been outside of Montenegro longer than the allowed period, you can simply reapply for temporary residence by securing a new mooring contract and submitting fresh supporting documents.
Must the mooring contract be with a particular marina?
The mooring contract must be with a marina licensed by Montenegro’s Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism, such as Porto Montenegro, Portonovi, Lustica Bay, or the ports/marinas in Kotor, Budva, and Bar.
Does this program lead to permanent residency in Montenegro?
Yes, Montenegro’s yacht residency can lead to permanent residency. After legally residing in Montenegro for five consecutive years holding temporary residency – without exceeding the allowed absences of 10 months in a 5-year period – you become eligible to apply for permanent residency.
