Monaco grants residence to people who can show genuine financial means and secure accommodation in the Principality. Turkish nationals qualify on the same general basis as other applicants from outside the European Economic Area. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Turkish nationals are eligible. There is no reported nationality bar on Monaco residence. As Turkey sits outside the European Economic Area, Turkish applicants follow the non European route rather than the simpler path open to EEA citizens.
Because Monaco has no consular network of its own for entry visas, nationals who need a visa to enter the Schengen area must usually first obtain a long stay visa for Monaco through the French authorities, then apply for the Monaco residence card, the carte de sejour, once in the Principality. Applicants generally must be at least 16, hold a clean criminal record and prove they can support themselves. Confirm the live rules with the Residents Section.
Monaco does not set a fixed investment figure into a government fund or a property quota. Instead it assesses financial capacity, the banking profile and a genuine intention to live in Monaco. Applicants secure accommodation by buying or renting in Monaco and open an account with a Monaco bank, which issues a reference letter confirming sufficient funds. Confirm the documents required with the Residents Section before committing money.
A residence application is commonly reported to take around three months once the file is complete, separate from the time needed to arrange accommodation and banking. Holders must renew on the published cycle and spend meaningful time in Monaco each year. Confirm current scheduling and the minimum presence rule with the Residents Section.
There is no legal minimum deposit fixed in Monaco law. In practice Monaco banks set their own thresholds before issuing a reference letter, and advisers often report figures around EUR 500,000 or more. Treat the figures below as indicative bank practice, not a government rule, and confirm current expectations with your bank and the Residents Section.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bank reference deposit | Set by each bank, no legal minimum | Often reported around EUR 500,000 or more. Confirm with the bank |
| Accommodation | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Purchase or long term rental in Monaco is required |
| Government and processing fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Card issue and renewal fees apply |
