Visa Status & Eligibility
Visa required
Pakistani passport holders are not visa-exempt based on UAE residence alone. A GCC/UAE residence permit does not grant visa-free entry. Pakistan is also excluded from Montenegro's seasonal 10-day visa-free exemption for some UAE residents (typically requiring 3+ years continuous UAE residency and a direct flight). Visa-free entry for up to 30 days is available only with a valid multiple-entry visa or residence permit from the USA, UK, Ireland, or a Schengen Area member state
