Montenegro keeps COVID-19-related measures largely unchanged as of Feb. 14; domestic and international travel restrictions remain in place.
Event
As of Feb. 14, authorities in Montenegro have kept the country's COVID-19-related domestic measures and international travel restrictions largely unchanged by comparison with those in effect Jan. 13.
Domestic Measures
Individuals must possess a National Digital COVID Certificate or otherwise prove they are fully vaccinated, recently recovered, or have a recent negative PCR test result taken within the previous 72 hours (or an antigen result taken within the previous 48 hours) to access certain facilities, including catering establishments, cinemas, and museums. Individuals must wear a facemask in indoor public spaces and adhere to social distancing rules.
International Travel Restrictions
All travelers above the age of 18 must either show proof of full vaccination or recent recovery or a negative COVID-19 test result before entry; authorities accept PCR tests no older than 72 hours or antigen tests no older than 48 hours. Citizens and permanent residents of Montenegro may enter the country without proof of vaccination or recovery, though would need to self-isolate for 10 days upon arrival; the self-isolation period may end on day three on confirmation of a negative PCR test result.
Authorities could reimpose, extend, further ease, or otherwise amend any restrictions with little-to-no notice depending on disease activity over the coming weeks.
Advice
Follow all official instructions. Abide by national health and safety measures. Reconfirm all travel arrangements. Consider delaying traveling if experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, as they may prompt increased scrutiny and delays. Liaise with trusted contacts for further updates and guidance. Maintain contact with your diplomatic representation. Ensure contingency plans account for further disruptive measures or extensions of current restrictions.
