Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Schengen visa required | Monaco does not issue its own visas — you need a Schengen visa from France. Apply at the French embassy or consulate in your country of residence. Processing takes at least 15 calendar days, so submit your application well before your travel date.Monaco entry info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Monaco and the Schengen area. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Schengen rules, but airlines often enforce 3 months beyond your stay — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for Schengen entry | Border officers at Monaco's port and at French airports routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or onward ticket to a non-Schengen country ready. A bus or train ticket to Italy or France also works. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask where you're staying. Carry a hotel confirmation, Airbnb booking, or a signed letter from your host in Monaco. If staying with a friend, their residence permit or ID helps. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | You may need to show you have enough money for your stay — roughly €65 per day for accommodation and expenses. A bank statement from the last 3 months or a credit card with a sufficient limit usually satisfies the officer. | Recommended |

Monaco uses French visa system
Monaco does not have its own embassy or visa system. You apply for a French Schengen visa, which covers entry to Monaco and all other Schengen countries. The visa is valid for stays up to 90 days within 180 days.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a French Schengen visa
Submit your application at the French embassy in Yangon (or the visa application centre they use). Book an appointment online, fill out the form, pay the fee (€80 for adults), and attend the interview. Processing takes about 15 calendar days.
2
Prepare your travel documents
Once your visa is approved, print the visa vignette and keep it with your passport. Also print your return ticket, accommodation booking, and insurance certificate. Have these ready in a folder for immigration.
3
Arrive in Monaco
You'll likely fly into Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (France), then take a bus or train to Monaco (about 30 minutes). At the airport, you clear French border control — show your passport with the visa, and your supporting documents if asked. No separate entry process for Monaco.
