Apply online before you travel; approval usually arrives within a few days by email. No embassy visit needed, you land with the document ready.
A visa must be obtained before travelling, via an embassy or consulate of the destination country.

About the Monaco Passport
Monaco is ranked 7th, which counts as a strong position. Holders travel visa-free to 115 countries, and total mobility reaches 177 destinations once eTAs, visas on arrival, and e-Visas are counted. Europe is the strongest region with 43 visa-free destinations, and North America follows at 21. Oceania is the lightest region for visa-free entry, so it is the one area where extra planning may be needed.
Monegasque citizens can visit France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, China, Singapore, and Brazil without a visa. The United States, Canada, and Australia require an eTA, which is a brief online step before departure. Since access is already broad, a second citizenship such as Sierra Leone CIP could add up to 6 destinations, and residency may suit other goals better than extra travel freedom.
