What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

The distinctive feature is the type of employment itself: employment of a foreigner on the basis of an employment contract for household work. The official source does not state any occupation list, qualification, salary or labour-market criterion specific to household employment.

Limits of the record
  • The law states no occupation list, qualification, salary or labour-market criterion specific to household employment; this is silence, not an explicit exemption.

A foreigner may work in Montenegro only in the jobs for which the residence and work permit was issued and only for the employer that employs them. The official source does not state whether family members may accompany the holder.
