Regarding the decision of the Montenegrin Cabinet
In October 2025, Montenegro suspended visa-free entry for citizens of Armenia and several other countries as part of its commitments to prepare for EU accession. Previously, Armenian citizens could visit Montenegro without a visa for short-term tourist purposes.
Citizens of Montenegro do not need a visa to travel to Armenia; they may stay in the Republic of Armenia for up to 180 days.
