This page covers a direct flight to Monaco. If your route connects through a third country, that country may require its own transit visa — sometimes even for a short stop inside the airport between flights (a layover). Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
Monaco has no commercial airport. Travellers arrive via Nice, France (a short transfer, incl. by helicopter). Because you enter via France, the binding entry requirement is France's (Schengen Area) — reflected in the visa verdict below — not Monaco's own, which is an open border with no separate immigration control.
No visa required for entry to Monaco. Confirm the latest allowed-stay duration with the destination's official source before travel.

Review the country page for the specific areas and risks flagged before you go. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.
Your itinerary touches Nicaragua (NI), where malaria transmission occurs. Transmission is often region-limited within a country (e.g. coastal vs highland zones) and varies by season. Discuss prophylaxis with a travel medicine clinician — the right antimalarial depends on the specific region, your medical history, and any medications you take.
The EU is introducing ETIAS, a pre-travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors to the Schengen Area (like the US ESTA) (about €20), valid 3 years. It is NOT required yet — expected to start around Q4 2026, phased toward 2027 (after a transitional period of at least 6 months). Dates have slipped before, so confirm the current status at the official portal: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en. Once live you'll need it before boarding on a visa-exempt passport. If you also hold an EU/EEA/Swiss passport, entering on that avoids ETIAS entirely.
France (FR) requires every visitor to hold travel health insurance. Minimum coverage: €30,000. Schengen visa requirement; must cover medical repatriation Print or save the policy summary page (insurer, policy number, coverage limit, dates) — that's what border officers look for.
