Who needs a visa for visiting Monaco?

Due to Monaco-France agreements and the established close relations, if you need a visa to France, then you need a visa to visit Monaco too. A France visa entitles you to enter Monaco, and a France permit gives you the right to remain there for the appointed period, as well. As a result, if you do not need a visa to enter the Schengen Member states, you do not need a visa to for visiting Monaco as well. All this is regulated by the Franco-Monegasque Neighborhood agreement of 18 May 1963.
