Compulsory Tourist Tax

Visitors to Montenegro holding a passport of any kind other than Montenegrin are subject to a daily tourist tax. The price of the tax varies depending on the season (it is increased during the summer season). Currently the winter price is EUR 0.50 per day and summer EUR 0.75 per day per person. Most travel agencies issue tourist tax coupons if you are an independent traveller. If you are staying in a hotel the tourist tax will be collected by the hotel and they will register you and provide you with a coupon. You will be asked to show the coupon upon leaving the country so it is wise to ensure you visit a tourist agency within the first 24 hours if possible of your stay. Guidelines are quite strict and we advise you not to wait until the last day of your stay to register. Agencies are not permitted to register latecomers and this could cause some problems. Despite the advice given in some guidebooks it is no longer necessary to register your stay with the police. The tourist tax coupons are registered automatically with the police by the agency or hotel which has issued your coupon. Children under 12 pay only for the coupon, and children from 12 to 18 pay half of the tourist tax. If you own a property in Montenegro, have a local company or have come to Montenegro to work then the rules maybe slightly different depending on your status and in this case we suggest you Contact Us.
