Among the Most Prestigious Golden Visas in the World

World Renowned Tax Haven
Monaco’s residency by investment program represents the top echelon of personal sovereignty solutions and the ultimate route for high net worth entrepreneurs, investors, and families to personally capitalize on the only zero-tax jurisdiction in Europe.
A Golden Visa that may actually be made of gold, the country’s name is synonymous with the best the world has to offer. Many may be able to visit Monaco, but only the select few can call it home. And beginning in 2025, far fewer will be able to simply visit.
One of only five micro-states that remain in Europe, the famous city-state is an extremely attractive jurisdiction for high-income individuals and businesses, as residency in Monaco is regarded as an immensely powerful tool for international tax and wealth optimization, as well as an unparalleled symbol of status.
Monaco represents the only genuine European tax haven – there is no income tax, no wealth tax, no local tax, no property tax, and no capital gains tax for individuals. Meanwhile, corporation tax and inheritance tax are minimal.
The most prestigious address along the French Riviera redefines luxury and access for any entrepreneur, investor, and family with the resources to make the pinnacle of power moves. Applications for the Monaco Golden Visa can be approved in as little as 2-6 months, but each application is handled independently and require an initial consultation before beginning.
For the Monaco Golden Visa, it is best to begin with our Free Confidential and Comprehensive Consultation, and Astons’ experts will analyze how your specific wants, needs, goals, and demands align with the program and provide you with the best solutions.

3-base requirements must be demonstrated by applicants when applying for residency:
The minimum investments for applying for Monaco Residency are not, however, set in stone. This is because the costs lie in the expenses of whether an applicant decides to rent or purchase a property, proceeds with a bank deposit or has alternative proof of sufficient financial resources.
Minimum investments tend to be €1,000,000 out of which €500,000 is for bank deposits, and a minimum of €500,000 for property investment.
Regarding proof of good character, applicants should present a clean, criminal record from the last 2 countries they have resided in, over a period of the past 5 years.
This should also be for more than 90 days a year, before arriving in Monaco. Presented clearly in the table below, are alternative options for how applicants can meet the accommodation and financial requirements:
Astons’ focus is to provide a hassle-free and seamless service, assisting you every step of the way with your residency application. We will guide you through the Monaco residency acquisition process with due diligence and care, ensuring that your application is submitted correctly and following up the application approval. We deal with all procedures efficiently on your behalf, based on professional expertise and years of experience.
Astons immigration advisers will evaluate your personal circumstances and help you to select the most suitable investment option. Residency can be granted to the entire family, including spouses/partners, children, and parents, provided that the property has sufficient bedrooms to accommodate the number of family members applying.
A detailed checklist will be provided, and you will be guided through the documents collection stage. Experienced immigration advisers will be checking all documents for compliance to ensure all requirements are met, including proof of accommodation and financial self-sufficiency documentation. The bank letter confirming your deposit has to be written in French.
The complete application for a residence permit along with all supporting documents confirming the proof of accommodation, applicant’s financial resources and proof of good character will be submitted to the Monegasque authorities.
Once the application has been submitted, the official residency interview will be scheduled with the Residents Section of the Directorate of Public Security.
Each application is vetted by the Government through a thorough due diligence background check, during which time submitted information is examined and verified.
Once the application is reviewed and approval is granted, you will be issued with a residence permit the government will issue a letter advising you of their decision.
EU passport holders can expect their card to be authorized within 8 weeks after the approval; the processing time for Non-EU citizens varies from sixteen to twenty weeks. To be a tax resident applicant may have to stay at least half year in the country.
What is life like in Monaco?

Testimonials
Very impressed by the professional approach of the Astons team. Despite the difficult “covid” time, all issues were resolved very quickly and constructively.
As a result, the process of preparing the entire set of documents for Dominica citizenship for 3 family members took no more than a month, and the passports themselves were received in record time – 3 months after filling out the D1 questionnaire. I recommend this company to everyone.
Having reached my 60s, I am less involved with my business and was looking to travel and enjoy life with my partner. It is tough to travel with a South African passport, and obtaining visas is difficult.
I also wanted extra security due to the political situation in my home country. I required a streamlined solution with a reputable investment citizenship program. I reached out to Astons, and Igor recommended Saint Kitts and Nevis Citizenship Program, which has been operating since 1984. The team provided full support with the documents and application, as well as payments, and in three months, my wife and I became owners of the SKN passport. We are now free to travel around the world with no visa implications, and are happy to enjoy our new enhanced lifestyle!
As an IT company owner based in Delhi, I continuously travel around the world both for business and with my family. I was tired of continuous visa applications and found it impossible to fly during the pandemic.
Having decided that is was high time to secure a second passport we looked around for the fastest and most reliable solution. I contacted Astons and received a detailed quote from Konstantin, based at the London office. I was asked about my requirements and was advised to apply for Vanuatu Citizenship as the quickest and cheapest option. In just two weeks, Astons had completed my application, and two weeks later, my citizenship was approved. I went ahead with my investment, and received my passport two weeks after that, making the whole application process a total of 1.5 months start to finish! Konstantin is an expert, and the team is very professional, so I would highly recommend Astons if you are considering second citizenship and require a fast service.
I was interested in a second passport to gain protection from potential risks and attacks on my business by state inspections and other bodies. I also wanted to invest in property overseas to protect my wealth.
After consulting with the Astons experts, I decided to obtain Turkish citizenship via the real estate investment route. Astons’ team prepared a lucrative real estate portfolio for me, showcasing properties in the centre of Istanbul, with 6-7% annual profit yield and the potential to re-sell in 3 years after citizenship had been obtained. The team seamlessly and expertly prepared and submitted the documents, as well as assisting with the property acquisition. After just two months, I received my Turkish passport and would highly recommend Astons to those who are considering second citizenship.
I turned to Astons for a consultation on Caribbean passports, having seen an article about Pavel Durov and how he obtained Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship. For me, this was relevant since I travel a lot, live in different places, and have long considered myself a citizen of the world.
Therefore, I wanted to get a second passport for global mobility, and to have the freedom of movement any time I travel abroad. I contacted Alexander, who guided me through all the options and explained the advantages and pitfalls to be aware of. My primary intention was to obtain a fast passport for global mobility, so the Vanuatu Program best fitted my requirements. The application process was smooth, and I wasn’t keen to wait for several months for a new passport. What most impressed me was that every timeline Alexander gave me was spot on. Thanks to all of the Astons team for your help, and your excellent work. I could see from day one how hard you all work, with a degree of efficiency, creativity and patience.
My experience with Astons has been incredible. After vetting a number of international & Turkish companies for my Turkish citizenship application, I’m so glad I went with Astons. Both Susanna & Alev were outstanding throughout the process & made all the difference.
The entire process was well-defined & thoroughly explained to me, amazing real-estate properties (with great ROI prospects) were carefully vetted for me to choose from, the in-person visit to Turkey was efficient, and the communication from Astons team was excellent throughout. What a great team of experienced professionals to deal with! Thanks for making the entire experience predictable & hassle-free. :pray:
My daughter is 16 years old, and so I needed to plan for her university education. She has a more European mindset, and I have always hoped she would be able to study in the UK, as well as being keen to live in and explore Europe myself.
My career is reasonably successful, so I wanted to diversify my life, travel more often and work remotely. Some friends recommended Astons as having helped them obtain Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship, so I went ahead, and we discussed various options. The ideal solution was to apply for Cyprus citizenship, being a European Union country and the investment being in reliable real estate. We also had the bonus that my daughter would receive Cypriot citizenship within one year – and therefore be able to choose a university in the UK or Europe. The processing was seamless, and I felt surrounded by great care and attention. Astons’ experts prepared an exclusive property portfolio for me and arranged a virtual tour. They also carried out the essential checks to ensure the safety of my purchase. Now, with a Cyprus passport, I can live wherever I wish, and my daughter can study in the UK. Astons also helped us with her relocation to London and university selection for which I am especially grateful!
