    Who fits: Tourists, family/private-visit travelers, and culture or sports-event visitors staying under 90 days.
    Gov fees: France-Visas fee table: EUR 90.00 full rate; EUR 45.00 for children aged 6-12; free under age 6; reduced EUR 35.00 rates under certain facilitation agreements. — Plus any external-provider service fee, which may not exceed EUR 40.00 per application.

    FAQ

    Does Monaco issue its own tourist visa?
    No. There is no Monegasque short-stay visa. Anyone authorized to enter mainland France for a short stay without a visa is authorized to enter Monaco, and a Schengen visa valid for France also covers Monaco.

    How long can I stay?
    Short stays may not exceed 90 days in any 180-day period. Border police may still ask for purpose, accommodation, means, and insurance proof.

    Can I work remotely from Monaco on this entry?
    No. Short-stay entry does not authorize Monaco-based paid work. Workers, founders, and long-term residents must use a long-stay plus residence-permit route.
