Why Buy Travel Insurance for Montenegro?

  • Visa Compliance: Any foreigner visiting Montenegro on a Short Stay Visa C strictly requires proof of travel medical insurance. This policy must cover any medical emergencies, hospitalisation, and repatriation to India.
  • Schengen Standard: While Montenegro is not yet part of the Schengen Area, it adheres to the Schengen travel insurance standards, mandating a minimum medical coverage of EUR 30,000. Also, if you are visiting Montenegro on a Schengen visa, then you will need to buy travel insurance for a Schengen visa too.
  • Preventing Visa Rejection: The embassy will reject the visa application if the insurance policy is absent or fails to meet the minimum coverage of EUR 30,000. Moreover, it provides proof of sufficient coverage in case you face a financial emergency here, reducing your chances of leaving behind any debts.

Types of Coverage in Travel Insurance for Montenegro

Montenegro offers a truly unique experience, but like any new place, it comes with potential risks. Here are some reasons to help you understand why a reliable international travel insurance plan is must for Montenegro:

Coverage Type Why It's Crucial for Montenegro
Emergency Medical Expenses Covers hospital bills, doctor visits, and medication up to the limit. Very important as medical facilities outside major cities (Podgorica/Kotor) are limited.
Emergency Medical Evacuation & Repatriation Montenegro’s rugged, mountainous regions like Durmitor & Prokletije may lack required medical care for specific emergencies. Travel medical insurance ensures timely air or road transfer to a suitable medical facility if required.
Adventure Sports Coverage Extremely important if planning high-risk activities like white-water rafting on the Tara River Canyon, canyoning, or mountain hiking/climbing. Ensure your travel insurance policy covers your intended sport.
Loss of Passport Covers costs associated with getting a new emergency travel certificate and related travel expenses. Crowded tourist areas like Budva see theft incidents during summers.
Trip Cancellation/Interruption Reimburses non-refundable expenses like flights & pre-booked tours incase you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to unforeseen covered reasons.
Loss of Checked Baggage Provides compensation for the permanent loss or theft of registered baggage.

Montenegro Visa Requirements for Indians

Indians need a valid visa for Montenegro. As there is no visa on arrival for Montenegro for Indians, you must apply for a visa at least 20-30 days in advance. Montenegro offers the following types of visas:

  • Airport Transit (A)
  • Transit (B)
  • Short Stay Visa (C)
  • Long Stay Visa (D)

Indians can obtain a Montenegro visa from the diplomatic or consular post of Serbia. In India, the Republic of Serbia handles the visa applications for Montenegro.

Montenegro Currency

The currency used in Montenegro is the Montenegron Nakfa (ERN). Here is the fixed exchange rate for key foreign currencies and the approximate rate to the Indian Rupee (INR) for reference:

Currency in Montenegro Approximate Conversion
Euro (EUR) 102.66 INR
1 EUR 1.16 USD

Travel Insurance Add-Ons for Montenegro

Montenegro has stunning beaches, mountainous terrain, calm lakes and an endless list of things to do. However, you also need to prepare for the activities you want to try here. Your travel insurance will protect you from a range of financial disasters, but some situations demand specific coverage. Optional covers or add-ons protect you against these specific risks related to Montenegro’s adventure focus and geography.

  • Adventure Sports Coverage: This is critical if you plan on white-water rafting in Tara Canyon or plan to go high-altitude trekking in Durmitor National Park. Standard travel insurance policies don’t cover activities like trekking or hiking. This add-on is a must for ensuring mountain rescue operations, which can be extremely costly.
  • Pre-Existing Disease (PED) Coverage: This is specially important for older travellers or those with chronic conditions. This travel insurance add-on extends medical coverage to sudden complications arising from your declared pre-existing illnesses (like diabetes or heart disease) while you are abroad.
  • Home Burglary and Home Fire Cover: This is a very useful add-on for your peace of mind, especially if you have planned a long trip abroad. This add-on compensates you for loss or damage (e.g., due to burglary or fire) to your home contents in India while you are away on your trip.

Happy Experience
We had planned a family holiday to Japan for months. Two days before flying, my mother-in-law fell seriously ill. We had to cancel everything: flights, hotels, and tours. Because we had 'Trip Cancellation' coverage, we recovered nearly 90% of our non-refundable bookings.
