Montenegro introduced a visa requirement for Azerbaijani citizens as part of aligning its policy with European Union rules, President Jakov Milatović said.
Montenegro fully aligned its visa regime with EU requirements on Nov. 1, 2026, Vesti Baku reported.
Milatović linked the change to Montenegro’s obligations as it seeks membership in the European Union.
Azerbaijani citizens now need visas to travel to Montenegro. Milatović said the change reflected broader European requirements rather than a separate bilateral measure directed against Azerbaijan.
The published statement did not announce any special exemption or simplified procedure for Azerbaijani travelers.
