Hello everyone,

What are the requirements for acquiring citizenship in Monaco? For example, length of residence, language requirements, employment etc..

What formalities are involved in the process?

What is the policy on dual-citizenship in Monaco? Do you have to give up your former nationality?

What are the advantages and benefits of acquiring Monacan citizenship, in your opinion?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Good morning,

By naturalisation

Those seeking to become Mon茅gasque citizens via naturalisation are required to fulfill the following criteria and send their request on stamped paper addressed directly to the Prince:

renounce any foreign nationality

no longer be required to perform national service abroad

has resided in Monaco for a minimum of 10 continuous years since the age of 18 at the time of making the application (the Prince is entitled to waive this requirement if he considers the applicant to be "worthy of this favour")

Mon茅gasque nationality is granted automatically to children who are under 18 when their father or mother surviving her husband (in the event of the death of the latter) obtains naturalization.
