When the residency interview is complete, the approval procedure is going to take around 2 months for holders of EU passports. For non EU passport holders, you have to first apply for a French Long-term stay visa type D, which gives you the ability to apply for Monaco residency in Monaco. This French long term stay visa must be applied for in the French Embassy/Consul in your country of residence. It is going to take somewhere between 1-4 months to receive, subject to the embassy standards in your country of residence. Only when this visa has been approved and placed in your passport can the next stage, the Monaco residency interview take place. When you have this visa and have had the interview in Monaco, the approval process for your Monaco Residency will take about 2-3 weeks.

In both cases, you could stay in Monaco during the approval procedure, and for non EU passport holders, when the French Long Term visa type D has actually been provided.
