How to Move to Monaco
Step-by-Step Process

Relocating to Monaco begins with determining the right residency option, as work and long-stay permits require proof of income, accommodation, and a clean legal record. Applicants must secure housing in Monaco—whether rented or purchased—open a local bank account, and demonstrate sufficient financial resources. Once these criteria are met, an application for residency must be submitted to the Monaco Police Department. At Compass Relocation, we help streamline this entire process from document preparation to final registration.
