Tourist tax and registering your stay
Every guest in Montenegro must be registered within 24 hours of entering the country. Staying with us, you do not have to do this yourself — we register your stay. Here is what the tax is, what it costs and what we need from you.

Not if you are staying with us. ORTUS registers your stay. All we need is an ID card or passport for each guest.
