Open a bank account in Monaco
One of the first criteria is to open a bank account in Monaco. The banks in Monaco require between € 500,000- € 1million, or more to open the account. Once the account is open and money has arrived, the bank will issue an attestation, or letter, which confirms that your account is open and that you have sufficient funds to support yourself/your family whilst resident in Monaco. If you have an employment contract with a Monaco company then you do not require this letter, but you will still need to open a bank account for your salary to be paid into. The minimum deposit amount in this instance is lower.
Buy or rent a property in Monaco
Then you will need to find a house or apartment to rent or buy in Monaco. Monaco is split into four quarters and the area of Monte Carlo is one of them where the famous casino lies. Wherever you decide to base yourself the rental lease must be for at least 12 months. Once you have found your rental property (or purchase) and signed the lease or act of purchase for the property, You can then request a date for the official residency interview with the residents section of the Monaco Public security offices. This will take approximately three weeks.
