UPDATE 13/01/2021: no more PCR test needed to enter Montenegro
Contrary to what is stated on the internet on the embassy and ministry of foreign affairs websites, since 12/01/2021, some restrictions have been lifted for Montenegro.
Restrictions were put in place on December 8, 2020, then tightened on the 21st and 24th of December, but as soon as the Orthodox Christmas ended, we can again:
- enter Montenegro without negative PCR test within 72 hours – you just need to respect the barrier gestures, i.e., wear a mask, keep social distance, etc.
- all borders remain open except one that is closed between 7pm and 7am (I no longer remember which one)
- the restriction on travel between regions at weekends has been lifted
Among other things, restaurants are still closed from 7pm, a curfew from 10pm, and other bans on gatherings remain.
P/s: for the most recent recommendations, check the official Montenegro website: https://www.gov.me/naslovna click on the Covid logo on the right. It’s in Montenegrin, but you can copy/paste everything into Google Translate. Be aware, the English version is not updated, so use the Montenegrin version.
