I'd like to connect with an expat community there . I'd also like to teach English there if there was a need as I'm not due to retire for another 2years. Thank you very much for your research
Montenegro is definitely on my top 3 places to buy a house. Belize and Georgia are two other countries I’d consider. I’m Canadian but want to internationalize.
RoninBlue I’ve done more research since I posted this. Tbilisi Georgia has several great neighbourhoods with lots of coffees shops gyms and a thriving digital nomad community. TBC bank is one of the easiest for foreigners to open bank accounts in and prices are very low. A westerner could live well on less than $1000 USD a month including housing, food etc.
@Keep on Searching Earth, Interesting, need to really look into it, thank you for the information! There may be a lot of hidden gems out there, outside of the popular!
Hi Ronin Blue - My name is Frank - Awesome Introduction; and Yes for Retirement and looking for Business Development Opportunity as well if possible, Thank You for all you have done.
I' ve never been in Montenegro but It sounds very interesting as a retiring spot. I am planning to do so in a year and I am doing my research., great info here
love Montenegro so much! best country for living in Europe, cheep and tasty food, perfect mountains and adriatic sea, friendly people, very good location
I was born in Romania lived in Canada for 30 years and now I am looking to relocate. I am looking at Romania but also other options. Montenegro looks like an interesting alternative.
You will like it, I was there 2 years ago and from the first day, a felt home. Beautiful country and very nice places friendly people and cheap for western visitors.
I married a native Montenegrian and I plan to retire there soon. It's a beautiful country and I love the history and the many Monastaries there. The people are nice and yes, the language is a challenge but I purchased a great translator that will help until I can learn some basic sentences.
@@loykofitness, I am sure you are much younger than me. The older you get, the more difficult it is to learn new languages. Sure, I will try it but for now I will depend on my translator.
Beautiful and I would consider it if wasn't for the lack of English speaking people. Several Balkan languages are common. I'm sure they are not easy languages to learn.
Great informative vid! You mentioned foreign residents do not pay income tax of their income earned outside of Montenegro. I am not finding any info on that anywhere. Where did you get that tit bit?
Deciding between Montenegro and Greece. For pensions, Greece has 7% tax rate, ME has 9% plus the surcharge whatever the local municipal government charges. Still would rather be in ME but the savings in Greece might run out. Greece has a double twin agreement with the US so my dividends won't get taxed to much.😅
Too much variance in prices. I need a monthly rental of no more than 300 USD per month. Any more than that is only a bargain if you are moving here from Los Angeles or San Francisco.
Go to central-african republic or smh like that with your 300usd (275€). I rent a small appartment in some random place in Podgorica (not the coast, but non-touristic continental city) for that money. Cheers!
15:13 seems unclear what you are saying based on your language used. Of course your can receive your Full foreign pension while living abroad. At least American pension. But Did you mean to say… ‘you can keep your foreign pension and foreign health care without getting double taxed by your home country AND Montenegro government” ?
Say in Monetenegrian if you wanna retire in montenegro , that’s for montenegrians , why on English , On english is when tourism comes in place come and go
Health care is not great... if a retiree has a serious emergency health problem, you might wish you picked another country. Also, no civil rights for gays and lesbians, and I suspect no criticism of the government. No doubt it's a scenic place with good weather.
This is my concern. How a country treats women, and the LGBTQ community, is a reflection of their deep cultural values. I really want to retire to Montenegro, but this issue of rights and treatment, and patriarchal attitudes concerns me.
@@frithbarbat Nearby Croatia is probably a much better and safer choice. The only reason Montenegro is even remotely a possibility is that they want to be in the European Union, and that is what is holding up their entry, and their risk of being thrown out one day. If they give up on that desire, they could easily get a lot worse, real fast.
@@fakerating Exactly. I am so drawn to the mountains of MNE, to a quiet and inexpensive life, but I don't want to live somewhere where domestic violence, for one thing, is commonplace.
@@frithbarbat No doubt, it's a beautiful country, I'm sure lots of positives... but the trade off for that inexpensive price is instability, health care that's subpar, and the unknown. If you are buying expensive beach property, I would be worried... but if you are just renting, or buying inexpensive property, and your health is excellent, probably not a big risk. Sadly, no place is perfect... you might like a video I made, how to decide and rate places to retire to: ua-cam.com/video/eKTaZRRkGUU/v-deo.html good luck!
I can agree on healthcare, it's in developement, after so many years of corruption. Yes, here people are more traditional (in general and mostly older gen) but the evidence that you're just ignorant is that we have gay pride every year. And when it comes to gouvernment, new more progressive political parties have came to power and critical thought is essential in daily life in Montenegro. I mean, you're just too rude, extreme, and ignorant. Ofc, we're not Scandinavia, but, we're not medieval peasants either. We're actually great civilisation for most of countries and especially for one you're coming from. Wish you all the best!
Worst country I’ve been to. Mediocre at best. People with no manners, bad food (I can’t emphasize this enough), poor infrastructure, horrible traffic… Yes it’s cheaper than it’s rivals in the territory but you get what you pay for. Never again. (Shared opinion of an international group)
This UA-cam presentation did not provide any information whatsoever for the retiring purpose - that is retired life in Montenegro. This is just a poorly presented tourist info.
Tell me if you'd like to retire to Montenegro!
Thinking about it! One question, tho. Is this a culture of heavy smokers like some other countries? Smoking in restaurants and most everywhere?
I can’t retire to Montenegro when i was born and live in it
I could get into it...several Caribbean islands have been tops on my list but Montenegro could work!
I'd like to connect with an expat community there . I'd also like to teach English there if there was a need as I'm not due to retire for another 2years. Thank you very much for your research
Yes, definitely! Not only in my dreams, but in reality - next year and I cannot wait!
My dream retirement destination. Perfect weather, beautiful scenery, and friendly people.
when you said friendly that helped a lot....thanks!
I am moving to Montenegro 🇲🇪 soon mc@microcoin.eu
Perfect weather how?

been there 4 Times...Kotor and Boka bay are amazing..
Definitely worth looking at for retirement or Digital Nomad lifestyle
Excellent info thanks.
Thank you for all the information 👍🏼

@Keep on Searching Earth. So many potential places, just curious as to why Georgia?
RoninBlue Tbilisi Georgia has been highly recommended by people who’ve bought property there so I’m interested in learning more about it.
@Keep on Searching Earth. I'm interested now as well, will place Georgia on my to do list!

Literally one of the most amazing videos...got to visit ....to see it..
Looks great. Never heard of it before. :)

what about health care?
I come in april to live in Montenegro, I bought a house in Boka Kotorska and I'm serbian. Good video very objective !
Hi could rent me a room?

Montenegro where my family is yes retirement is going to be there!
I'm currently in Montenegro BTW i am from Serbia
@theZoreXxX. Nice! Loving it there, I bet! Nice to meet you!
Hi im looking to move here too but where is the best hospital? I worry when people say you need to go to serbia or croatia for better healthcare
@ђи ђи ive heard there better hospitals now. What is so bad about the healthcare in mne?
are there bilingual schools there thanks stay safe. I'm an English teacher in Central Europe
How are the women there? The United States is blown out. It's full of Sassy Land Whales. Montenegro looks legit!
I like your vlog, you sound like a normal intelligent human, unlike most of these youtubers dramatics who seem to be talking to 5 year olds.
Looks and sound like a great option...
A visit could be in order... 🤔... ⌚👀
Nice place new friend
Good information. Thank you. What about other surrounding countries?
I was born in Romania lived in Canada for 30 years and now I am looking to relocate. I am looking at Romania but also other options. Montenegro looks like an interesting alternative.
Would like to visit this place in the future... 😀

Bulgaria is near by , if you want cheap real estate. Can get a whole house in a tiny remote town for 2,000. American dollars.
Yeah but u don't get a residency with it
Is health care is free?
Kindly let me know about procedures for...
You should come out with a Fire guide I’m interested how to make it happen

did you get these pics off google pics?
@Simple Simon. They are from pixabay.com. A public domain, stock photo website.
I do not get it, can I stay in my house for 365 days or not? Like if not what's the point of buying the house?
Montenegro doesn't have a double tax agreement with Australia. Would I have to pay tax twice on income earned in Australia?
No. No income tax for foreigners in Montenegro.
