Nevertheless, the country is a NATO member, and citizens can enjoy visa-free travel to over 124 countries.

Besides offering affordable citizenship, the processing is also fairly quick, and residency takes just three weeks while citizenship approval occurs within six months. The program requires applicants to either invest €250,000 in government-approved property in the northern region or €450,000 in the southern region. Investors also need to pay a €100,000 donation to the Montenegrin government. Applicants are not required to live in Montenegro to maintain their citizenship.
