Montenegro, a country on the Balkan Peninsula's Adriatic coast, will require visas from Turkish citizens starting Nov. 1, 2026, ending a visa-free travel arrangement that has been in place between the two countries.
The change comes as Montenegro aligns its visa policy with that of the European Union, which it has been negotiating to join since opening accession talks in 2012. The new requirement also applies to citizens of Belarus, China, Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Non-EU countries seeking membership are typically required to match the bloc's external visa list, which requires visas from a broader range of nationalities than many candidate countries currently ask for.
Under the current arrangement, Turkish citizens can enter Montenegro without a visa and stay for up to 30 days.
