Australia advises normal precautions for Montenegro.
Take normal precautions in Montenegro, but avoid unregistered demonstrations and follow authorities’ instructions. Multi-hour road blockades have affected the wider Podgorica area and routes to and from Podgorica Airport; avoid crowds and check local reports. Road conditions and lighting are often poor, so drive with the highest attention, especially after dark. Holidaymakers must register their stay, and drivers under 21 face a midnight-to-05:00 driving ban and a zero-alcohol limit.
Travel to Montenegro can generally be undertaken safely provided usual precautions are followed. The advice identifies no specific risks or regions requiring different precautions.
Exercise normal security precautions in Montenegro. Petty crime, vehicle theft, payment fraud, cybercrime, organized violence, terrorism and demonstrations create risks, so protect valuables and use secure payment and internet practices. Remain vigilant in border areas and avoid demonstrations near official buildings. Coastal waves may be unpredictable with strong undertows, while celebratory gunfire and sports events can cause violence, so follow beach warnings and avoid coastal areas during severe weather.
Take normal precautions, but consult other countries' travel advice because Estonia has no embassy in Montenegro. In summer, extensive forest and landscape fires are common, and travellers should consider earthquake risk. Driving requires a valid Estonian licence meeting the Vienna Convention, recognised without an international permit. Estonian citizens may enter for 90 days with a valid passport or 30 days with an ID card, although conditions may change.

Exercise normal precautions when travelling to Montenegro, but remain alert to terrorism and low levels of street crime in larger towns. Drive very cautiously because poor roads and driving standards lead to more accidents, particularly on the Ibarska Magistrala linking Serbia and Montenegro. Use a guide in the rugged mountains, seek advice before unofficial border crossings, and check health precautions because diseases including hepatitis A may be a risk.

Take normal precautions, but watch for terrorism, theft and violent crime, and avoid remote places. Drug offences, including soft drugs, carry heavy penalties, while LGBTQ travellers may face discrimination and aggression. Wildfires, landslides, floods, earthquakes, avalanches and traffic accidents are risks, while demonstrations may be violent. Follow local authorities during crises, and in an emergency seek help from the Dutch embassy in Belgrade or the Slovenian embassy in Podgorica.
Take normal precautions in Montenegro. Petty crime targeting foreigners, gang-related bombings and gun violence, protests near the Kosovo border, poor roads, earthquakes, wildfires and floods can occur. Avoid large amounts of cash and jewellery, travel in groups, steer clear of gang areas and unrest, monitor local news and weather, and buy comprehensive travel insurance.
Exercise usual precautions when travelling to Montenegro because risk is not increased. Take particular care in busy tourist destinations from early July to late August because of theft, and at sporting events because aggression and violence may occur. Healthcare is limited and may require immediate cash payment, so arrange insurance covering medical evacuation and hospital stays; also prepare for earthquakes, poorly maintained roads and winter ice.
Take normal precautions when travelling to Montenegro. Ensure your passport is valid and keep visits without a visa for tourism, family, business, events and short study within 90 days in any 180 day period. Register within 24 hours of arrival unless your accommodation does this, use designated ports when arriving by sea, and declare restricted goods, cash and controlled medicines. Noncompliance may result in denied entry, fines, detention or confiscation.
