Residency & Golden Visas
Monaco residency has no legally prescribed minimum deposit or investment. The financial test is an attestation from a Monaco bank, and the bank sets the sum it regards as sufficient.
About Monacoنبذة
Monaco is a sovereign microstate on the French Riviera, recognised for upscale living, political stability and attractive tax policies, with easy connections to France, Italy and the wider EU. Residence rests on three things: accommodation in Monaco, an attestation from a Monaco bank that you have sufficient means to reside there, and a clean criminal record. Monaco law prescribes no minimum deposit or investment — the bank providing the attestation sets the sum it regards as sufficient. Accommodation may be owned or rented, so residence can follow a property purchase or a lease.
Residents are exempt from personal income tax.
Opportunities to invest in prime real estate with potential appreciation.
Advanced healthcare and educational facilities.
Leisure, cultural activities, and Mediterranean lifestyle are readily available.
Political stability and a secure economy.
Visa-free travel to Schengen countries and beyond.
