The border
Montenegro is outside the EU, so there are checks on both sides. In summer the wait can be an hour or more around late morning. An early start usually saves time.
Questions about Kotor
What documents do we need?
A valid passport or ID card for everyone in the van, children included. EU citizens can usually travel with an ID card; others should check the rules for their nationality.
Can we stop in Perast?
Yes. A short stop is easy to add. For more time there, see the Budva transfer via Perast and Kotor.
