Summary

Embassy visa required
Visa type
Schengen short-stay visa (type C) from your Schengen entry country, often France; Monaco issues no visa of its own
Stay limit
Up to 90 days in any 180-day period (Schengen rules)
Entries
As allowed by the Schengen visa

Monaco’s official public service portal says nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area need a valid passport and a Schengen visa to visit the Principality, and that the visa request goes to the embassy of the Schengen country that will be your entry point into Europe. Once you hold a Schengen visa, no further formalities apply. Pakistan is not among the nationalities exempt from Schengen visas and is on the Schengen-wide airport transit visa list. Because Monaco is reached through France, many Pakistani travellers apply to France via France-Visas.

Monaco packs the Monte-Carlo Casino, the Prince’s Palace on the Rock, the Oceanographic Museum and a famous Grand Prix circuit into two square kilometres on the French Riviera. For Pakistani visitors the entry rules follow those of the Schengen area.

Monaco’s official public service portal says nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area need a valid passport and a Schengen visa. Pakistan is not exempt, so a Schengen visa is needed even for a day visit from Nice.

Monaco issues no short-stay visa itself. The request goes to the embassy of the Schengen country where your trip to Europe begins. As the Principality borders France, Pakistani travellers often apply to France through France-Visas and then lodge the file at a visa centre.

The Schengen fee is 90 euros for adults. The Embassy of France in Pakistan says you can apply up to six months before departure and warns that appointment and processing times lengthen in busy periods, so plan ahead.

With the visa in hand, no further formalities apply to visit Monaco. The visa allows up to 90 days in 180 across the Schengen area, and a connection through a Schengen airport also needs an airport transit visa.

Pakistan is on the Schengen-wide airport transit visa list, so changing planes at a Schengen airport needs one unless you hold another valid visa.

The Police Department, on (+377) 93 15 30 15.

Is there an official refusal rate for Monaco trips?

No. Monaco does not publish refusal figures; Schengen data is reported by the issuing country.
