Monaco residence is based on means and accommodation rather than nationality, so Bangladeshi nationals can apply. Because Bangladesh sits outside the European Union and the Schengen area, a Bangladeshi applicant must first obtain a French long stay visa, known as a type D visa, before lodging the Monaco residence application.
Applicants also need proof of accommodation, sufficient funds, valid health insurance and a clean criminal record from every country of prior residence. Confirm the current requirements with the official authority.
There is no single fixed investment figure. In practice the banks require a deposit before issuing the reference letter the application needs, and reported figures often start around 500,000 euros and can be higher depending on the bank and the applicant profile.
Accommodation can be a rental contract or owned property in Monaco. Confirm the current bank and document requirements with the official authority and your bank.
Residence is generally granted within about two to five months once documents are complete, and the process includes an in person interview some weeks after submission. Residents must spend meaningful time in Monaco each year to keep their status. Confirm current timing with the official authority.
The largest figure is usually the bank deposit, which is held in your own account rather than paid away. Accommodation, the French visa step and government fees apply on top. Use the table as a checklist and confirm each figure.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bank reference deposit | Reported from about EUR 500,000 | Set by the bank, not a government fee |
| Accommodation | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Rental or owned property in Monaco |
| Government and visa fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Includes the French long stay visa step |
