Why this verdict

Indian citizens are mapped as visa-required for ordinary short visits because Montenegro's official visa-free list does not include this ordinary-passport nationality. 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.
