General
Are the prices on the website final?
All prices shown are our professional/service fees and are exclusive of VAT and third-party costs unless expressly stated otherwise. Prices marked "from" depend on the complexity and scope of the particular matter. Where possible, anticipated third-party costs are communicated to you in advance.
What are third-party costs?
Third-party costs are external expenses we do not control, such as government and administrative fees, notary fees, translations, apostilles and legalizations, insurance, bank charges and software/provider fees. They are charged separately and at cost.
Can you guarantee that my permit will be approved?
No one can honestly guarantee that. Apex Advisory and its cooperating professionals provide application and procedural assistance and make sure your application is complete and correctly prepared — but decisions remain with the competent authorities.
Do I need a Montenegrin company to live in Montenegro?
Not necessarily. If you work remotely for a foreign employer or your own company registered abroad, the digital nomad residence route may suit you. If you want to run your business through Montenegro, company formation combined with a work & residence permit is usually the right path. We help you choose.
Who provides the legal services?
Legal services are provided in cooperation with licensed, accredited attorneys. Routine matters are covered by our fixed-fee services and monthly support; complex legal matters, transactions and litigation are quoted separately.

First-Year Concierge
What is the First-Year Concierge?
Our premium, one-stop package for foreign entrepreneurs: company setup, your own work and residence permit, banking, a virtual office, 12 months of accounting, employment administration and routine legal support — coordinated through one point of contact for €10,900 + VAT.
What happens after the first year?
Clients who complete the First-Year Concierge receive access to preferential ongoing rates from Year 2 onwards for accounting, virtual office, permit renewals, compliance, employment administration and routine legal support. The package is tailored to how your business has developed.
Are permits for my employees included?
The package includes one work and residence permit for the foreign founder/director. Permits for additional foreign employees are not included, but Concierge clients receive preferential rates for them.
Digital Nomad Residence
Who qualifies as a digital nomad in Montenegro?
The regime is intended for foreigners who perform work electronically for a foreign company, or for their own company that is not registered in Montenegro. We start every case with an eligibility assessment.
How long can a digital nomad stay?
Temporary residence for a digital nomad may currently be granted for up to two years and extended for up to a further two years, subject to the applicable legal requirements.
Can my family move with me?
Eligible family members may be able to obtain residence on the basis of family reunification. Our fee is €300 + VAT per family member, with third-party costs charged separately.
Bank Account Opening
Is bank account opening guaranteed?
No. Account opening remains subject to the bank's KYC/AML procedures and internal approval. We prepare your documentation and guide you through the process to give your application the best chance.
Property Support
Are you a real-estate agency?
No. Apex Advisory does not provide real-estate brokerage services. We introduce you to appropriate licensed agents free of charge and offer legal due diligence by licensed attorneys.
Work & Residence Permits
We need permits for several employees. Do you offer volume pricing?
Yes. Preferential volume pricing is available for companies relocating or employing multiple foreign workers. Contact us with the number of employees and their nationalities for a quotation.
