What it means in practice

The officer at the border decides how long you may stay in Monaco; the date in your passport stamp is the one that counts. Ask for the days you need and carry proof of onward travel.

How Monaco counts your stay: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period, counted across all Schengen countries together; the days of entry and exit both count. Visa holders are also limited to the dates and number of days on the visa. EES counts the days automatically and flags overstays.

Before you go

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Extend before you run out. Stays beyond 90 days in 180, including for work or study, follow French entry rules (long-stay visa). Time on a residence permit or long-stay visa does not count toward the 90 days.
  • What overstaying costs. EES counts the days automatically and flags overstays.
