How to second an employee from France to Monaco

Thanks to the secondment procedure, an employee from France, who comes to work in Monaco for a specific period on behalf of your company, will remain registered within the French social security system.

For secondments for periods of less than 3 months, the procedure is to be carried out via the dedicated online service by following the steps below. 

Paper applications are reserved exclusively for those without access to a computer. 

Businesses, craftspersons or subcontractors not established in Monaco and who wish to carry out work on public or private sites must first apply to the Business Development Agency. See: How to request permission for a worksite.

This online service is not intended for craftspersons authorised to work alone, without seconding employees. You can inform the Employment Office by post, explaining that you are working alone, and enclosing a copy of the work permit issued by the Business Development Agency.
