Montenegro Expat Life: Surprising Monthly Costs for Family

Today we showcase Montenegro expat life with surprising monthly cost for a family of three from South Africa, living their dream on the waterfront of Kotor Bay located in the country of Montenegro on a budget. They discovered Montenegro watching House Hunters International in 2017, and the country did not disappoint them. We'll discuss their cost of living in Montenegro, experiences, as well as topics like International School, and medical care. There are great Real Estate opportunities in Kotor, Tivat, Perast, Budva, Lustica, Herceg Novi, and Dobrota, and with Montenegro's lower than average cost of living a potential landing spot for retirees on a typical US Social Security budget.

We bought our home in Kotor Montenegro in 2016, we were enchanted by this medieval city from first sight. With the low cost of living, Mediterranean climate, UNESCO Heritage designation, and it's popularity as a tourist destination for Eastern Europeans and the British it made perfect sense to buy here. As we travel Europe over the next 5 to 10 years we will be using our home in Montenegro as our home base, rest assured our journey is not ending.

Do you want to live abroad as an Expat? Are you looking for affordable and viable options? We are exploring the world to see what it's like to live in a country, and also discover if Residency is an option.
We began our retirement in March of 2020 with the intent to travel the world, spending 1-3 months in a country or location. We want to see what it's like to live there and not simply visit, and we want to share these experiences and the costs with whoever wishes to follow along.
If your looking for a place in Europe to live or retire Montenegro may be an option, stay tuned and follow along.

Warren, you sneaky devil. I’m 20 seconds in and notice how your camera drifts to some lovely beach scenery. Julie, get the rolling pin. Okay, on to the video.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

Lol, no comment, I plead the 5th.

[@elterrifico9522]

Well, if you’re arm is in a sling next week we’ll know what happened. What do your SA pals do for work? IT? Bloggers? International jewel thieves?

Hi W & J. An absolutely eye opening and amazing vlog showing the options out in Europe for a very comfy living. Have a couple of questions. 1. From what I heard, if i buy a property in Montenegro, I get an unlimited residency permit- Is that True. Is there a minimum limit on the price of the property? 2. Being a US citizen, if i buy the property in MN, then i have the freedom to roam around the EU countries with out the 90/180 day rule, because I am a MN resident. Is my assumption true?. If not I have to use the MN residence after every 90 days in EU. I would greatly appreciate if you or Ian can give a little more details on getting residency in MN. Thanks

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

There is not a minimum on the property purchase. It must be a habitable residence. Unfortunately, Montenegro is not part of the EU or the Schengen zone, therefore it does not help you with the 90 days in 180 days rule. It helps you to have a country outside of the Schengen zone so that you can leave the Schengen after your 90 days and spend 90 here and return back to the Schengen to restart the clock. You can get residency here by home ownership or starting a corporation. If it is home ownership, you must spend 11 months a year here. If you start a corporation, those rules are more relaxed. We will have a residency video update in about 2 weeks from now.

I was wondering if you've been back in states since you started your journey and your thoughts about the lifestyle in the US after living overseas.

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

We retuned for approximately one month in January 2021 We are able to have a better existence on less money outside the US.

[@220volt74]

@@WarrenJulieTravel Yeah, that has been experience with many expats I know and follow.

[@wanderingwarrior5626]

As a American expat, the difference between the U.S. and MNE is like the difference between night and day. I mean that in a very good way! Good to see some S. Africans moved here. I have a very personal connection to their country that began in 1977.

[@TruthInspector]

Do i have to be pcr tested to enter country?

[@WarrenJulieTravel]

No you don’t

[@nicolascas2380]
