If you are looking for a Montenegro fishing licence, you have probably noticed that the process is not simple.
Kotor Fisherman is not a government office. This is a private assistance service that helps tourists obtain a legal fishing licence through authorized local fishing clubs as defined by the official Law on Marine Fisheries and Mariculture (Montenegro).
To help tourists avoid confusion, delays, and language barriers, I provide a fishing licence assistance service.
How Fishing Licences Are Issued in Montenegro
In Montenegro Fishing licences are:
- printed as physical (hard copy) documents
- valid only for the selected period
- required to be carried while fishing
- checked by inspectors on the water or shore
There is no digital or PDF version accepted.
Because of this, every licence must be:
- requested in advance
- issued by an authorized club
- collected as an original document
Montenegro Fishing Licence Assistance Service (Kotor, Bar & Budva Area)
To help tourists avoid confusion and unnecessary delays, I provide a paid fishing licence assistance service.
⚠️ Important:
This is not an official government service.
It is a concierge-style assistance service that helps tourists obtain a valid fishing licence through legal local channels.

Important note for Budva area requests:
For fishing licences issued through the Budva fishing club, a clear photo or copy of a passport may be required before the licence can be prepared, along with your residential address in your country of origin.
Your document will be used only for the purpose of preparing and issuing your fishing licence and may be forwarded to the authorized local fishing club responsible for issuing the permit.
