What do I need to know before moving to Monaco?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Monaco, they said:
"Monaco is a small, independent city-state located on the French Riviera. It is known for its luxurious lifestyle, tax-free environment, and stunning scenery. Expats should be aware that Monaco is an expensive place to live, with high costs of living and property prices. Additionally, Monaco is a very small country, so it is important to research the local culture and customs before moving. Expats should also be aware that Monaco is a very safe place to live, with low crime rates and a high quality of life. Finally, it is important to note that Monaco is a very international city, with a diverse population of expats from all over the world," remarked one expat in Monaco.
