    EU ordinary passports: visa-free short visit to Monaco

    For a short visit, Monaco applies the same foreigner entry and circulation regime as France. Union citizens need no French entry visa, therefore have a visa-free visitor route to Monaco.

    • This is an ordinary visit of under three months under Monaco's France-aligned entry regime; Monaco is not a Schengen Member State.
    • Use a valid passport or national identity card as applicable. Admission, document validity, purpose, funds, public-order and route checks remain applicable.
    • No separate Monegasque eVisa, ETA or visa-on-arrival route is established by the reviewed official sources.

    Visa-exempt French-access ordinary passports: visa-free short visit to Monaco

    For a short visit, Monaco applies the same foreigner entry and circulation regime as France. These ordinary passports are visa-exempt for the French access leg under Annex II or equivalent free-movement arrangements and therefore have a visa-free visitor route to Monaco.

    • This is a Monaco visit of under three months; the French/Schengen access leg is limited to no more than 90 days in any 180-day period.
    • Biometric passports are required for AL, BA, GE, MD, ME, MK, RS, UA and XK. Taiwan requires an identity-card number in the passport; HK and MO require their named SAR passports.
    • CH, IS, LI and NO follow equivalent free-movement treatment for the French access leg. Residence permits, refugee/stateless documents, border permits, school groups, paid activity, crew and special passports are not normalized into this ordinary-passport baseline.
    • No current source establishes a separate nationality-wide Monaco visitor visa rule for minors. A Monaco circulation document for a minor resident is a residence document, not a visitor-access rule.
    • ETIAS is not operating on the research date. No separate Monegasque eVisa, ETA or visa-on-arrival route is established by the reviewed official sources.

    Nauru ordinary passport: advance visa required pending EU waiver agreement

    Nauru remains subject to the French short-stay visa requirement because its Annex-II exemption is conditional on an EU–Nauru waiver agreement that is not concluded.

    • This is a French/Schengen advance-visa requirement applied in Monaco under the France–Monaco short-stay convention, not a separately issued Monegasque visitor visa.
    • Nauru's Annex-II listing does not currently create a waiver: the Regulation's footnote makes it conditional, and the Council says the agreement remains unconcluded.
    • No Monegasque eVisa, ETA or visa-on-arrival route is established by the reviewed official sources. Final French and Monaco admission decisions remain separate.

    Annex I ordinary passports: advance visa required for Monaco short visit

    For a short visit, Monaco applies the French foreigner-entry regime. These passports require the applicable French/Schengen advance visa; a visa valid for France is valid in Monaco.

    • This is the French/Schengen advance-visa requirement carried into Monaco's short-stay foreigner regime, not a separately issued Monegasque visitor visa. Visas valid for France are valid in Monaco.
    • The Monaco visit is under three months. The French/Schengen access leg follows its short-stay rules; residence permits, long-stay visas and special documents are not flattened into this baseline.
    • The source law provides distinct rules for stays over three months and Monegasque residence permits; those are not visitor-visa waivers. ETIAS is not operating and no Monegasque eVisa, ETA or visa-on-arrival route is established by the reviewed official sources.
