What exactly is the official special programme/status and why does it exist?

It is temporary residence for a foreigner who intends to stay in Montenegro for longer than 90 days, granted under point 13 of Article 38(1) of the Law on Foreigners; for point 13 cases a temporary residence permit is issued. The official source does not state why this ground exists.

Limits of the record
  • The law does not state why this ground exists or which specific laws or treaties it serves.

Which specific population, role, circumstance or historical/legal situation does it cover?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which population or situation the programme covers.

Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: The content of point 13 ('other cases under law and international treaty') is not cited; C1 is cut at 'privilegije i' (no 'immunity', and no statement of what is provided for them: a residence-and-work permit if a treaty so regulates); 'the only group the law names' is an uncited negative claim.)

What circumstance, event, relationship, nomination, invitation or status activates access?

Access is triggered by the existence of a specific law or international treaty covering the person's situation, which is what activates this catch-all basis rather than one of the law's other, purpose-specific grounds.

What sponsor, authority, nomination, certification, evidence or other step must occur before the status can be obtained?

The relevant international treaty or law itself must regulate the person's status; the official source does not add a further prior-authorisation or certification step of its own beyond that.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • No additional prior-action or certification step specific to this basis is stated beyond the treaty/law itself governing the matter.

What immigration status and rights result, how long do they last, can family be included, and what happens if the special qualifying circumstance ends?

The result is a temporary residence permit; the holder may stay in Montenegro in line with the purpose for which temporary residence was granted. A temporary residence permit is issued for up to one year, and can be extended only on the same legal basis on which it was granted. The official source does not state whether family members can be included or what happens when the qualifying circumstance ends.
