Jordanian passport holders need a visa to enter Monaco. Since Monaco has no embassy network, you apply for a Schengen visa through the French consulate. The process is identical. Plan ahead: appointments can fill up weeks in advance, especially in peak travel seasons like summer.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a visa at the nearest French embassy or consulate | Monaco does not issue its own visas. You need a Schengen visa from France. Apply at the French embassy or consulate in Amman. Submit your application at least 15 days before travel. Processing takes 10–15 calendar days.Apply for visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay in the Schengen area | Your passport must be valid for your entire stay in Monaco and the Schengen zone. Jordanian passports need at least 3 months validity beyond your planned departure date from Schengen. Carry a photocopy of the bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration officers at Monaco's border (or at French entry points) will ask for a return or onward ticket. This can be a flight, train, or ferry ticket leaving the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. Budget airlines check this strictly before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a confirmed hotel reservation for every night of your stay in Monaco. If staying with a friend, get a signed invitation letter from them plus a copy of their Monaco residence permit. Immigration may ask for this at entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Carry bank statements or a credit card showing access to at least €65 per day of your stay. Cash is not required, but having a card with a visible balance helps. Immigration rarely asks, but French border officers sometimes do. | Recommended |
Visa required — apply early
Jordanian passport holders must obtain a Schengen visa before traveling to Monaco. The process takes 2–4 weeks, so start at least 6 weeks before your trip. Don't book non-refundable flights or hotels until your visa is approved.
Monaco is part of the Schengen Area
You enter Monaco through France (usually via Nice Airport). Your Schengen visa covers both countries. There are no border checks between France and Monaco, but you must carry your passport at all times.
What happens at the border
1
Book your visa appointment
Schedule an appointment at the French embassy in Amman or at the TLScontact visa application centre they use. Slots can be limited, so book as early as possible — at least 4–6 weeks before your trip.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather all required documents: completed visa application form, passport photos, passport copy, flight itinerary, hotel bookings, travel insurance, bank statements, and proof of employment or leave. Make photocopies of everything.
3
Attend the appointment
Go to the visa centre on time. Submit your application, pay the fee (€80 for adults, €40 for children 6–12, free for under 6), and provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo). Processing usually takes 15 calendar days.
4
Collect your passport
Once processed, you'll be notified to pick up your passport. Check the visa sticker carefully — make sure your name, dates, and number of entries are correct. If anything is wrong, ask for correction immediately.
5
Travel to Monaco
Fly into Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) in France, then take a bus or taxi to Monaco (about 30 minutes). At passport control, present your passport with the valid Schengen visa. You may be asked for your return ticket and accommodation details.
