About the honorary consulate in Monaco
The honorary consulate represents the Bahamas in Monaco. According to the Monegasque government’s country page, it is headed by Niccolo Caissotti di Chiusano (honorary consul). No opening hours are published; arrange a visit in advance. To do so, call +33 6 16 96 65 51 or e-mail niccolochiusano.mc@gmail.com.
The office is in the Monte-Carlo district, less than 1 km in a straight line from the Prince’s Palace in Monaco-Ville and about 19 km from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, the nearest airport.
Monaco is not part of the Schengen area, but visitors need the same documents as for entering France, according to Monaco’s public service portal. Citizens of the Bahamas need no visa for short stays in the Schengen area (up to 90 days in any 180-day period, Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806), so they can visit Monaco without one.
Which Bahamian office issues passports and visas?
For passports and other formal consular services, Bahamian citizens should ask the honorary consulate which Bahamian mission is responsible.
The Bahamas has no embassy in Monaco, and the Monegasque government’s country page names no Bahamian embassy accredited to Monaco; contact the honorary consulate for directions.
What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by the Bahamas and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Bahamian citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
