Should you lose your money and other financial resources, the Embassy can help you contact your family, bank, or employer to arrange for them to send funds.
To transfer funds commercially to Montenegro, your family in the U.S. should go to the closest Western Union office and instruct them to send the money to Western Union’s nearest partner agent in Montenegro. To send money through the partner agent nearest to the Embassy, the funds should be sent as follows:
(Your Name, exactly as it appears in your passport or ID, address and confirmation number).
Forms are also available at post offices. Almost all post offices in Montenegro provide Western Union services; some post offices in rural areas may not. Most banks also provide this service. For a listing of the Western Union locations in Podgorica, please click here.
You can find the locations of other partner agents in Montenegro at the web site of Western Union. The sender must provide you with a 10-digit confirmation number that you will need in order to pick up the money. The sender should also give you his/her correct name and telephone number. You must present a photo identification to collect the money.
To transfer funds through the State Department, please see the State Department's web site.
