Monaco visa for Bangladeshis

Monaco does not run its own short-stay visa system for visitors. Monaco's embassy pages say non-EEA nationals must hold a valid passport and a Schengen visa, that requests go to the embassy of the Schengen country you will enter first, and that once you hold a Schengen visa you can visit the Principality with no additional formalities. France-Visas says that when Monaco is the main destination, the French consulate issues a Schengen visa valid for Monaco and the Schengen area. For Bangladeshi citizens this means applying through the French channel in Dhaka (or the entry state you choose). Last checked 4 November 2026.

Quick answer: Visa needed?: Yes, a Schengen visa for non-EEA nationals such as Bangladeshi citizens (Monaco embassy pages). Monaco has no separate visitor visa.. Where to apply: Embassy or visa centre of the Schengen state you will enter first; if Monaco is the main destination, France. In Dhaka, France uses a VFS Global centre at Rangs Z Square, Gulshan Avenue.. Confirm before you pay.
