VPNs and other tools worth installing before you go, curated for travelers visiting Montenegro.
Do not install 112 MNE from an unofficial source. Montenegro's Ministry of Interior launched this Android emergency app in 2020, but its official Google Play link now returns 404 and the last archived release dates from 2021. It is no longer a dependable traveler download, and third-party APK sites should not replace an official store. Save the emergency number 112 directly instead. Montenegro also uses 122 for police, 123 for fire and 124 for ambulance, while 112 is the unified emergency number and can coordinate medical, fire, police or rescue assistance. In an immediate emergency, call rather than searching for an app. Before a mountain or remote road trip, share the route, download maps, charge the phone and carry backup power. No app can create cellular coverage where none exists. A separate administrative issue catches some visitors: foreign guests must be registered within 24 hours. Hotels and registered accommodation providers normally do this and should be able to provide confirmation. If staying privately or if the host does not register you, contact the local tourist organization or police promptly. A stay in another municipality lasting more than 24 hours can require a new registration. The Prijava boravka app is designed for registered accommodation issuers to report foreign guests. It is not a traveler self-service app and should not be recommended as a download. Keep accommodation and registration proof until departure, and ask the local tourist organization if the host's explanation is unclear.
