Many professional services in Montenegro do not require a license. For example, financial consulting does not require a license, while the legal and accountancy professions do.

Associations, boards, and ministries in different areas determine the procedures and general criteria for licensing of foreign professional services. For example, to become a licensed accountant, a foreign professional must apply for registration with the Institute of Accountants and Auditors of Montenegro, documenting their professional standing from their respective home country.
