Monaco guides and practical information
INTRODUCTION TO MONEGASQUE RESIDENCY
Many companies and foreigners want to open an office in Monaco. If the climate, the comfort of life, the security and the tax advantages of the Principality are a dream come true for most of them, settling in the exclusive city-state is something that can not be done on a whim. Here are some details about the Monegasque residency application.
The first thing to understand is that the procedure varies depending on your nationality. Citizens of the European Economic Area (EEA) only need a valid identity card or passport to apply for a permit. Nationals of non-EEA countries, on the other hand, must apply for a settlement visa in Monaco, which is issued by the French authorities. Minors from non-EEA countries must also obtain a visa.
