All travelers require a passport valid for the duration of their stay, and should ensure that it is stamped for entry. Passports should be carried at all times. Visitors must register with the local police within 24 hours of arrival (this is done automatically when checking in to a hotel or official tourist accommodation). Failure to do so could mean a fine or imprisonment. Travelers must only enter Montenegro through recognized border crossings.

Health
Montenegro is generally a healthy country with few risks, however a hepatitis A vaccination is recommended. A typhoid vaccination is recommended only for those who are likely to travel off the beaten track, but is not necessary for those staying in hotels and resorts and eating in good restaurants. Only bottled or purified water should be consumed, and food should be well prepared and well cooked. Those intending to hike in the countryside should take precautions against ticks. Medical facilities in Montenegro are limited, and supplies are lacking. Medical insurance with evacuation cover is strongly recommended. There are some private clinics in Podgorica, which treat travelers, but payment in cash is expected. A reciprocal health agreement entitles visitors from the UK to free emergency treatment.
Safety
Montenegro is a safe destination for travelers, although it is wise to take sensible precautions against street crime in the towns and cities, as you would in any other European country. Travelers should note that car thieves tend to target four-wheel-drive and luxury vehicles and that unexploded landmines may still remain along the Kosovo border, so necessary precautions should be taken.
