Advantages of obtaining a residence permit of Montenegro
According to statistical data, by 2024 the number of Russians who have moved to the country is more than 10% of the total local population. The state is no less popular with Ukrainians and Belarusians. This indicates that the country is underestimated in terms of migration. By 2030 the state is expected to join the EU, after which the number of those wishing to immigrate will increase dramatically and the procedure will become more complicated. At the moment it is much faster and easier to obtain residence permit, residence permit and citizenship here than in the European Union member states.
Also, immigration to Montenegro (one of the names of Montenegro) for permanent residence has the following advantages:
local mentality - Montenegrins are sociable and friendly, there is no prejudice towards any nationality in the country.

prospects - Montenegro is expected to join the EU, after which its citizens will be able to enjoy the benefits of a European passport;

According to the Serbian Ministry of Interior, the number of residence permits issued in 2023 increased by 30% compared to 2020, reaching more than 50,000. This trend is due to the fact that Serbia is becoming an attractive destination for business and residence.

Serbia and Montenegro are becoming increasingly attractive to foreign investors due to their stable economic growth, favorable geographical location and favorable business climate. In recent years, these countries have been actively developing infrastructure, attracting capital in real estate, tourism and industry, as well as offering tax incentives and investment programs.
For more than 15 years GBSC has been assisting foreign investors at all stages of investment placement, from search and selection of interesting options, based on the parameters of the request, to full support in exiting projects when the expected results are achieved.
Serbia has a transitional economy with predominantly market-based regulatory mechanisms. In 2023, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) reached $81.34 billion, representing 0.08% of the world economy. GDP growth of 2.5% year-on-year indicates a steady recovery from the global economic turmoil.
Foreign investment plays a key role in Serbia's economic development. The country continues to attract significant amounts of foreign direct investment (FDI), which contributes to industrial modernization and infrastructure development. Stable macroeconomic policy and structural reforms create a favorable climate for investors.
Tourism as a factor of investment attractiveness The growth of tourist flow in Montenegro contributes to the attractiveness of investments in the hotel business and real estate rentals. In 2023, 2.18 million tourists visited the country, which indicates the recovery of the industry after the pandemic. The increase in the number of tourists has a positive impact on the return on investment in the real estate sector and stimulates further infrastructure development.
Montenegro also shows positive dynamics in attracting foreign investment, especially in the real estate sector. In 2023, total FDI inflows to the country amounted to €857 million, which is 25% lower than in the previous year. However, investments in real estate increased by 3%, reaching €463 million.
Serbia is the largest investor in the economy of Montenegro. In 2023, Serbian citizens invested €78 million in Montenegrin real estate, surpassing Russian investors, whose investments amounted to €56 million. In 2024, the trend continued: in the first four months, Serbian citizens invested €51.3 million, of which €20.8 million were used to buy real estate.
