Everything Montenegrin citizens need to know about getting a Vietnam visa in 2026, including eVisa requirements, flight routes from Podgorica, and embassy details.
Do Montenegrin Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?
Yes, all Montenegrin passport holders must have a valid visa to enter Vietnam. As of 2026, the standard method for obtaining a visa is the Vietnam eVisa, which allows applicants to apply entirely online without visiting an embassy.
The eVisa is valid for up to 90 days (single or multiple entry) and allows entry into Vietnam through 83 designated international checkpoints.
Vietnam eVisa Costs in Euro (EUR)
Montenegro uses the Euro (EUR) as its currency. When applying for the Vietnam eVisa, the fees are officially charged in USD, but you can pay with a standard credit or debit card. The estimated costs in EUR are as follows:
- Single-entry eVisa: $25 USD (approximately 23.25 EUR)
- Multiple-entry eVisa: $50 USD (approximately 46.50 EUR)
These fees are strictly non-refundable, even if the application is rejected. The standard processing time is 3-5 working days.

Before starting the eVisa application, applicants must ensure they have the following documents ready. It is advised to review the Vietnam eVisa requirements and common eVisa mistakes.
