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.

The Ministry of State requests the opinion of the Technical Commission for hygiene, security and environmental protection regarding the application.
The Technical Commission gives its opinion within a maximum of two weeks from receipt of the application.
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.
Application for renewal must be made by the manager of the establishment three months before the end of the initial period of authorisation.
