Montenegro does not currently offer a specific post-study work visa for international graduates. However, graduates can explore alternative visa options to remain in the country after completing their studies.
The most common route is applying for a temporary residence permit for employment or self-employment. This requires securing a job or starting a business that meets Montenegrin legal requirements. Alternatively, graduates may apply for further studies or a research visa if continuing academic pursuits.
EU nationals benefit from easier mobility under bilateral agreements. Non-EU students should consult Montenegro’s immigration authorities for updated regulations on work and residency permits.
