These are our fees. They do not include what is paid to the state, to a notary, to a translator or to an insurer, which is set out separately at the bottom rather than folded into a package that hides it.
A quoted figure is what you pay. If your file turns out to need work beyond what the line covers, you hear the number before that work starts, not on the invoice.

Montenegro
The one part of this list that is not a fixed figure. The routes that work diverge sharply in effort, and a single package price would mean overcharging whichever of them is simpler in your case.

|---|---|
| Residence via a Montenegrin employer | Priced per case |
| Company registration | Priced per case |
| Property purchaseSame rate as Serbia | 3% (min €500) |
What these fees do not include
Third-party costs are passed through at what they actually cost. They are listed here rather than absorbed into a package, because a package that hides them is how a quote ends up looking better than it is.

|---|---|
| Court-certified translationSet by the translator, not by us | per page |
| Health insuranceBy age and coverage period | varies |
| Notary feesScaled to contract value by regulation | per tariff |
| Property transfer taxOn the assessed value. Liability sits with the seller by default and is often shifted to the buyer by contract | varies |
Frequently asked questions
Yes for the work the line describes. What sits outside it is the third-party costs listed above, which are passed through at cost. If your file needs work beyond the line, you hear that number before the work starts rather than on the invoice.
