Montenegro, Croatia & Slovenia? I'm planning to join a group tour that goes all around Europe, including Albania, Montenegro (in transit), Croatia and Slovenia. The rest of the countries will be covered as I can and will easily acquire UK & Schengen tourist visas.

The tour will only stop & visit each city/country (including the 4 mentioned above, in fact Montenegro is only for transit) for 1-2 days at the most.

If I have my UK/Schengen visas and will enter those non-Schengen states for **ONLY 1-2 days** with the tour group, DO I STILL HAVE TO ACQUIRE A TOURIST (OR TRANSIT) VISA FOR THOSE 4 COUNTRIES (even if it's only for 1-2 days and after we will be returning to a Schengen country)?

The issue is that those countries do not have an embassy in the Philippines and if I still need a visa for each of them, I will have to go to their embassies in different countries just to try & get one. Too much hassle & expense for a visa for only 1-2 days!

It's quite important and I hope someone can help or advise me. Thank you.
