Worth knowing. Tuition is the University of Montenegro MONTEB English-taught bachelor's (2025 call); other programmes charge the self-funded Montenegrin fee, not verified. The Law on Foreigners sets no subsistence amount and the current rulebook could not be read. The 15 hours a week work limit and 9-month job-search permit in Article 48 apply to international exchange programme students, not degree students. Visa and residence permit fees not found.
