Monaco Residency Rules
First Time Applicant
Once an application for a residency permit has been submitted, a ‘temporary’ card valid for one year may be issued, for which there are no particular length of residency requirements.
Timing of renewal will depend on how long you have been a resident
The first Monaco residency card will be issued for a period of twelve months after which this card must be renewed. The card is called a 'Monaco Carte de Resident Temporaire' (temporary resident's card) and is renewed each year for the first three years of your residency. In the fourth year of continuous Monaco residency, you will then be issued with a three-year card, known as the 'Carte de Resident Ordinaire' (ordinary resident's card). These cards are valid for three years and must be renewed at expiry. In year ten, the holder of a Monaco residency may apply for a 'Carte Privilege' which is granted at the discretion of the Monaco authorities. This is not automatically granted and if not granted the applicant will continue to receive the three-year Monaco resident's card. Note that regardless of how often you have to renew your residence permit, you will still enjoy all the benefits of living in Monaco.
