How to apply for or renew authorisation for late closure

PROCEDURE

SECTOR-SPECIFIC OR REGULATED ACTIVITIES

Last updated: 23/02/2023

Understanding the process

The running of premises that are open to the public (bars, restaurants, etc.) and the organisation of evening events are regulated with the purpose of ensuring public order and peace. A preliminary application for authorisation must therefore be made to the regulatory authority for all such activities.

Official closing time for establishments in Monaco is 1 a.m.

If the police investigation and opinion of the Technical Commission decide in favour of your application, your authorisation will be issued by the Advisor to the Ministry of Interior. This authorisation is limited to three years and is subject to renewal at the end of this period.

On receipt of authorisation you must pay a fee determined by Ministerial Decree.
