Monaco residency approval procedure

When the residency job interview is done, the approval process will take about 2 months for holders of EU passports. For non EU passport holders, you should first apply for a French Long-term stay visa type D, which provides you the right to get Monaco residency in Monaco. This French long-term stay visa should be obtained from the French Embassy/Consul within your country of residence.

In both cases, you could remain in Monaco during the approval process, and for non EU passport holders, when the French Long-term visa type D has actually been issued.
