Your Expat Community in Monaco

Find Out More about Being an Expat in Monaco

A tiny principality located on the temperate Mediterranean coastline bordering the south of France, Monaco has long had a reputation as a playground of the rich and famous. It certainly exudes high-end glamour, with luxurious hotels, exotic boutiques and glitzy Casinos dominating the Monte Carlo region, but it also offers more modest pleasures and is by no means inaccessible to expats who don't number among the super-rich. With extremely generous tax laws and a thriving tourist industry, it attracts many expats looking to set up business operations with excellent travel links to key industry hotspots in France, Italy and beyond. Monaco is also one of the safest destinations in Europe, with a famously efficient police force and some of the lowest crime rates on the continent. If glorious weather, picturesque surroundings and a thriving continental atmosphere appeal to you, you'll find much to enjoy in Monaco.

Make Friends and Build Your Expat Network before You Arrive in Monaco

InterNations is a unique community of members who are united by a commitment to our guiding principles of trust, respect and a welcoming and open attitude towards other cultures and backgrounds. These are the essential components of the InterNations platform, allowing you a chance to interact in a safe and secure environment which is further facilitated by a “membership by approval” model. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have about living in Monaco — from practical concerns such as rental regulations, finding high-quality legal and financial advice and accessing private healthcare, to questions about social activities such as joining a dance class, networking with fellow business leaders and enjoying an evening of stand-up comedy. For some of the latter activities, you may also join one of the existing, interest-based InterNations Groups in Monaco or — in case your hobby is not yet covered — feel free to create your own group on InterNations! InterNations also offers regular large-scale events where you can mix with fellow Monaco expats and international-minded residents in a friendly and informal environment.
