Where to apply: United States has no mission in Monaco

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
Switzerland 347 km
Applications accepted in: Bern
2
Italy 469 km
Applications accepted in: Naples, Florence, Rome
3
France 493 km
Applications accepted in: Paris, Marseille

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.

US visa refusals for Monaco citizens

The US State Department publishes the refusal rate for B visas (tourism and business) separately for each nationality. We took the two most recent fiscal years — so you see not just the level, but which way it is moving.

0.0%
of B-visa applications from Monaco citizens were refused in FY2025
-31.3 pp below the all-country median (31.3%) — refused less often
0.0 pp year-over-year: FY2024 was 0.0%, now 0.0%
#196strictest of 197 countries
141of 197 countries saw refusals rise year-over-year

The “adjusted” refusal rate follows the State Department methodology used for the Visa Waiver Program: it covers B-1/B-2 visas (tourism and business) and no other categories. For countries with few applicants the percentage swings between years — an artefact of small numbers, not of policy. The median and rank are our own calculations on top of the official figures.
