Montenegro is an E-2 Treaty Country with the United States. The Balkan country offers a quick and cost-effective route to citizenship. Citizens of countries not eligible for the E-2 Visa may become eligible for this visa by first becoming a citizen of Montenegro. Citizens of India, Russia, China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, South Africa and Nigeria are currently ineligible for the E-2 visa without first obtaining citizenship of another country.
