Schiff Sovereign's Take on Montenegro
Lord Byron once famously proclaimed when visiting Montenegro: “At the moment of birth of our planet, the most beautiful meeting of land and sea was on the Montenegrin coast.”
Eat your heart out, Italy, France and Greece: the Balkan country of Montenegro, while only the size of Connecticut, packs more beauty-per-square-meter into its topography than perhaps any other country in Europe.
And while an occasional visit to the UNESCO-designated Bay of Kotor can indeed be very rewarding, we think that planting flags elsewhere in the country can make a lot of sense too.
Retirees, location-independent employees and business owners should all put Montenegro on their shortlist of countries to consider for relocation.
Here are the main reasons why we like Montenegro:
Also, the country is on its way towards joining the European Union, which can be a plus or a minus for you, depending on your views on the EU. (And in any case, these things are never guaranteed).
And most importantly, Montenegro allows you to become a citizen near-instantly through its Citizenship By Investment (CBI) program.
But you need to hurry: The government recently confirmed that the program will be shut down at the end of 2023. So if you’re considering applying, there is no time left to procrastinate.
Also, we are happy to report that you can become Montenegrin via this program for cheaper than anyone else in the world, thanks to the steep provider discounts we negotiated for our Total Access members.
So if you are considering Montenegro’s (or any other) CBI program, you will definitely do yourself a favor by joining Total Access. The discount you will receive will either be equal to, or exceed the price you will pay for the membership.
But if you are not ready to write the check just yet, know that there are also much cheaper (in fact, free) ways to become a Montenegrin resident and start living there like a local.

Here are the main reasons why we like Montenegro:
- It is exceptionally tax-friendly (boasting a flat 9% tax on most types of income).
- It has a low cost of living – about a third cheaper than neighboring Croatia.
- It offers a mild Mediterranean climate.
- It is quickly developing its tourism amenities and infrastructure.
