Expat insurance
Expat insurance in Montenegro
Comprehensive cover for people who've actually moved to Montenegro: multi-year stability, no trip caps, and the proper inpatient/outpatient stack you want when this is home now.
Montenegro offers an Adriatic base with a digital nomad residence permit that taxes foreign income at zero, visa-free entry, the euro, and low costs, outside the EU and Schengen so its days don't burn your Schengen allowance. Healthcare is basic in the public system, so nomads use private clinics, and complex cases go abroad to Belgrade or the EU, so evacuation cover matters. The mountain and coastal roads are the real daily risk.
