- Transit
- airside transit: conditional; landside transit: conditional; Montenegro's visa-free wording covers entry, transit and stay. Actual transit checks still depend on airport, route, ticketing and whether the traveller crosses border control.

Why this verdict
Australian citizens are mapped from Montenegro's official visa-regime source as visa-free for ordinary short visits, transit and stays of up to 90 days. This guidance is intentionally conservative: supporting visas, residence permits, diplomatic/service passports, work, study, airline routing, border checks and transit control can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
