Follows the move to Montenegro and what's actually happening around residency permits in 2026. Looks harder at the gap between official statements and what people actually run into at the border or migration office, so rumors about visas or new rules get checked here rather than repeated. Readers get a clearer line between headline panic and the real procedure, plus the questions worth asking before relocating rather than after. It also covers where to go if you're relocating with little money, and how earning abroad differs from how it looks before you leave. There's a counter-story too — leaving Montenegro for Serbia and what that actually involves. Fine legal detail on status paperwork is deliberately thin here; the focus is on decisions and daily life instead.
