Alright, so I tried to get myself a Monaco passport. Let me tell you, it was a journey.
First things first, I started digging around to see what the deal was with becoming a Monaco citizen. Turns out, it’s pretty tough.
Research
- Looked up the requirements. You gotta live there for like, 10 years, and that’s just the beginning.
- Found out that even if you do everything right, it’s still up to the Prince to decide if he wants you as a citizen.
- Realized I’d have to give up my current passport, which was a big deal.
What I Did
- Checked out what it takes to just live there. You need to have at least €500,000 just sitting in a Monaco bank.
- Figured out how to prove I could support myself without working there.
- Started looking at places to live. That’s a whole other story because rent is insane.
What Happened
- Got pretty overwhelmed by the whole process. It’s not just about the money; it’s a total lifestyle change.
- Compared it to other places. Turns out, some countries like Argentina make it way easier to become a citizen. You only need to live there for two years!
- Ended up not going through with it for now. But it was a crazy adventure just looking into it.
So yeah, that’s my story about trying to become a citizen of Monaco. It’s a wild ride, and definitely not for the faint of heart. Maybe I’ll revisit this idea sometime in the future, but for now, I’m keeping my current passport.
