Budva
Riviera apartment stock runs heavy self check-in; confirm Opština Budva’s live Odluka o boravišnoj taksi (listed in the municipal documents index), then hit the same national 12-hour and 24-hour clocks.
Local focus
- Self check-in gate
- Confirm local tax
- LTO notice ≤ 24h
Country context
Zakon o strancima requires hosts to report foreign guests to the police within 12 hours (electronic or LTO path). Zakon o boravišnoj taksi adds a 24-hour tourist notice to the local tourist organisation and municipal sojourn tax (Kotor €1.00 / night). Household hosts need a CTR rješenje (≤10 rooms / 20 beds) before advertising. EU candidate — not EU, not Schengen.
Remote arrival works when identity and travel-document fields needed for police / LTO filing are captured before access — a door code is not a substitute for the 12-hour or 24-hour clocks.
