1. Can Foreigners Buy Property in Montenegro?
Yes. Montenegro is very open to foreign investment. Foreign nationals can buy property in their own name with very few restrictions. The main exception is agricultural land (over a certain size) and property of military or strategic importance.
Good news: At Luštica Bay, all properties available for purchase are pre-approved for foreign ownership.
2. Why Buy at Luštica Bay?
Luštica Bay is a master-planned coastal community developed by Orascom Development, offering:
High-end villas, townhouses, and apartments
Two marinas, beaches, golf course (under development)
Restaurants, boutiques, wellness centers
On-site property management and rental programs
It is one of the most secure, legally sound, and well-managed developments in Montenegro.
3. The Buying Process
Step 1: Select Property
Choose from available units (e.g. Botanika Residences, Marina Village, The Peaks). A reservation agreement may be signed to hold the property.
Step 2: Due Diligence
The developer (e.g. Luštica Development AD) or your lawyer will verify title deeds and check for any encumbrances.
All Luštica Bay properties are sold with clean title and construction permits.
Step 3: Sales Agreement
Once due diligence is completed, a Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) is signed.
This outlines the price, payment terms, and handover date.
Step 4: Payment
A 20% down payment is usually required.
The remaining balance is paid in installments according to a schedule or at handover (varies by property stage).
Step 5: Notarization & Registration
Final contracts are notarized in Montenegro.
The buyer is officially registered as the owner in the Montenegro Real Estate Registry (Cadastre).
Legal representation is recommended for non-resident buyers.
4. Costs and Taxes
Property Transfer Tax: 0% for new developments (like Luštica Bay). A 3% tax applies for resale properties.
Legal Fees: Approx. 1%–1.5% of the property value
Notary Fees: Around 0.01%–0.05%, capped by law
Maintenance Fees: Vary by property (monthly charges cover security, communal areas, services)

5. Residency Options
Purchasing property in Montenegro does not automatically grant residency.
However, owning real estate allows you to apply for temporary residency, which can be renewed annually.

6. Financing Options
Mortgages are limited for non-residents, especially from local banks.
Most Luštica Bay buyers pay in cash or via installment plans offered by the developer.

Profits from property resale or rental income can be repatriated without restrictions.
No capital gains tax if you hold the property for more than three years.
