Montenegro is not in Schengen and has no visa office in India. You submit in person at the VFS Global Montenegro centre, and the file is couriered to the Consulate General in Istanbul for the decision, then couriered back, which is why the realistic time is two to three weeks rather than the usual 15 days. The fee is €35, about ₹3,798, for an adult and €17.5 for a child under 14, plus a VFS charge of ₹2,821. The means-of-support rule is explicit: at least €50 per day of the requested stay should be visible in your account. Multiple-entry visas can be issued for six months to five years, so a travel history helps.
What it costs
Paid directly to Montenegro / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.

Frequently asked
No. Montenegro is not part of the Schengen area — it runs its own national visa system. A Montenegro Type C visa is valid for Montenegro only and does not allow travel across Schengen countries.
The visa fee is €35 (about ₹3,798) for adults and €17.5 (about ₹1,899) for children under 14. On top of that you pay a ₹2,821 VFS service charge and a mandatory two-way courier fee of ₹5,859 per applicant.
You apply in person at the VFS Global Montenegro Visa Application Centre in India. The application is then couriered to the Consulate General of Montenegro in Istanbul (Turkey), which decides the outcome. Agent/third-party submission is not allowed.
A minimum of 2–3 weeks. This is indicative — the overall time depends on the courier transit between India and Istanbul and the Consulate's discretion, so apply early.
You are considered to have sufficient means of support if you hold at least €50 for every day of your requested stay. Show this via a bank statement/balance certificate or proof of regular income.
Yes — proof of health/travel insurance covering your stay in Montenegro is a required document.
No. A short-stay (Type C) tourist visa does not authorise any employment. Work requires a long-stay (Type D) work visa tied to a work/residence permit.
