Montenegro to Require Visas for Chinese Citizens in late 2026

Chinese passport holders in Denmark and Sweden need a visa for Montenegro starting November 1, 2026. The change applies to Chinese ordinary passport holders. Currently, Chinese tourists can enter Montenegro visa-free for up to 30 days. Group tours also enjoy visa-free entry right now. After November 1, 2026, these exemptions will end.

Travelers can still enter without a visa if they meet specific Schengen exemption rules. Montenegro is ending visa-free access to align with European Union visa standards. The Balkan nation is a popular vacation spot for Chinese residents in Copenhagen. Those planning autumn or winter trips in 2026 should check requirements early. Travelers should verify if their Nordic residence permits cover the exemption. (Source: Deep Arrival)
