Residency

Monaco — Residency: Digital Nomad Visa

Monaco does not offer a dedicated digital nomad visa or remote work visa program. Foreign nationals wishing to reside in Monaco while working remotely for foreign employers or managing their own international wealth must instead apply for standard residency under the self-sufficiency category. This pathway requires demonstrating significant wealth and financial independence, typically validated by a Monaco-based financial institution, to prove they will not require local employment or become a financial burden to the Principality. There are no alternative, low-income remote work paths permitted within Monaco's sovereign borders.
