Romania to Montenegro

A Romanian national identity card is accepted for tourist stays of up to 30 days; an ordinary Romanian passport is accepted for stays of up to 90 days. A driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry to Montenegro.

You will not be asked to show proof of funds on entry. Official guidance for Romanian travellers states that proof of funds is not required on arrival for this route.

If you stay in a registered hotel, the owner must carry out the registration on your behalf.

If you carry cash of more than 9,999 euro (or equivalent) you must declare it in writing on the customs declaration when entering or leaving Montenegro and show the origin of the funds.

Travel insurance is recommended but not a condition of entry. Romanian guidance advises holding comprehensive travel/medical insurance including medical repatriation and confirmation that the policy is valid in Montenegro.

No vaccinations are currently mandatory to enter Montenegro. Travellers are advised to consult the Romanian National Institute for Public Health (CNSCBT) travel health advice before travelling.

If you are staying in a registered hotel, the hotel owner registers you with the local authorities. The Romanian embassy in Podgorica can be notified of your presence via the eConsulat portal or by email for consular assistance, but the embassy is not the place to obtain entry permission.

If you plan to transit via Kosovo or Serbia, note that a passport is generally required for transit; the identity card is generally not accepted on that route. Check your onward route requirements before travel.

Children under 18 only need the same accepted travel document as adults: a passport or an identity card (subject to the different maximum stay for ID card entry). No additional parental consent or notarised forms are required.

Your passport must not be older than ten years on the date of entry and must be valid for at least 90 days beyond your planned date of exit from Montenegro. For entry on an identity card, the card must be valid for at least 30 days beyond the date of exit.

Failure to register your stay is punishable by a fine; Montenegrin rules set penalties in euros for non‑registration. Follow the local registration process or ensure your hotel registers you if you stay in registered accommodation.

You may notify the Romanian embassy in Podgorica of your presence via www.econsulat.ro or by email (podgorica.consul@mae.ro / podgorica@mae.ro). The embassy provides consular help and emergency contact numbers, but it is not an application channel for entry permission.

For currency exchange, an identity document is required and written proof of the source of funds is requested for transactions above 1,000 euro, per the official guidance.

If you carry more than 9,999 euro (or equivalent) you must complete a written customs declaration on entry or exit and present proof of the funds' origin.
