What it costs
Paid directly to Montenegro / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per VFS Global, last verified 9 Jun 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
The Montenegro visa fee is €35 (about ₹3,798) for adults and €17.5 (about ₹1,899) for minor children under 14, paid in INR at the VFS centre by Cash / UPI or Debit/Credit Card. A VFS service charge of ₹2,821 (incl. 9% SGST + 9% CGST) and a MANDATORY two-way courier fee of ₹5,859 apply per applicant — the courier carries the file to and from the Consulate General of Montenegro in Istanbul (Turkey). All fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome and are subject to change — confirm the current amounts at the VFS Montenegro Visa Application Centre before applying.

The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your Montenegro file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.

Your fee, in one glance
Government, VFS, insurance, ticket and hotel costs are separate and charged at cost. Read what each item means, in full.
Before you file
Filed on a guessed checklist, the government fee is gone on a refusal and the refusal follows every future application. Filed after a consultant at our licensed firm has read the papers against each other, the file answers the officer's questions before they are asked. Same Montenegro rules, different outcome. How we do that is written once, in full, on the method page rather than repeated here.
