Montenegro offers its citizenship for High Net Worth Individuals in exchange for investments in its booming tourism sector. The Southeast European country aims to join the European Union very soon, and its passport offers the freedom of travel in 122 countries, including the Schengen area and the other EU Member States, Russia and Turkey. Montenegro's fast-developing tourism industry needs direct investments to be able to host the always-increasing number of tourists, who wish to enjoy the last secret gem of the Adriatic Sea. The unique beauty of the country and the fascinating culture ensures that investors place their funds in the right tourism projects of Montenegro. The objective of the citizenship scheme is to develop tourism's infrastructure with high-quality accommodation facilities and create jobs for the Montenegrin people.
