How does one become Monegasque?
With 9,611 Monegasques registered in 2021, there are few citizens of the Principality among the 38,000 residents. This is because it is difficult to obtain citizenship if you do not have a Monegasque parent.
However, there are other ways of getting the magic key that opens the door to many advantages such as zero taxation and low-cost housing.
