Which family relationships qualify?

The qualifying relationship is parent and child: a permanent residence permit may be issued to a child, including a child one of whose parents had approved permanent residence at the time of the child's birth while the other parent is unknown or has died.

Limits of the record
  • The two other cases (a Montenegrin-citizen parent with domicile; a parent with permanent residence) are cited under this via's protected R2 answer.

Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The sponsoring parent must be a Montenegrin citizen with residence (domicile) in Montenegro, or a foreigner who already holds a Montenegrin permanent residence permit, at the time of the child's birth.

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the evidence needed to prove the family relationship.

Limits of the record
  • Arts. 87-89 set the parent-status conditions and who files; no documentary proof of parentage (birth certificate etc.) is specified.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance requirements.

Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_RESPONDE: Art. 89(4) requires the PR applicant (the request of Art. 89(1), which Art. 89(2) applies to children under Art. 87) to attach proof of meeting Art. 88 conditions (means, health insurance, accommodation), and Art. 89(5) exempts under-14s only from the language proof; this is in the source and supports a partially_proven answer with a residual that no child-specific waiver of items 2-4 is stated.)

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

For a child under items 1 and 2 of Article 87(1), the application is filed by one parent with the other parent's consent; for a child under item 3, by the parent. A permit for a child under four years of age is issued with a two-year validity. Fingerprints and signature are not taken from children under 12. The official source does not state the child's rights or how the status becomes independent.

Limits of the record
  • The source does not state child-specific rights or how the child's status later becomes independent.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
