Monaco Visa Requirements for Saudi Arabia Citizens

Visa required

Saudi Arabia passport holders need a visa for Monaco, issued by an embassy or consulate before travel.

Monaco's government says visa applications to enter Monaco must therefore be made at the embassy of the Schengen country that will be the gateway of the stay in Europe; once the Schengen visa is obtained, Monaco can be visited without any other formality.

“Les demandes de visas pour accéder au territoire monégasque doivent par conséquent être effectuées auprès de l'Ambassade du pays de l'espace Schengen qui sera la porte d'entrée du séjour en Europe. Une fois le visa Schengen obtenu, la visite de la Principauté pourra s’effectuer sans aucune autre formalité.”
