Monaco’s Shockingly Strict Drone Laws in 2025 – What Every Pilot Must Know
Monaco requires Civil Aviation Authority approval for any drone over 100 g, with even lighter models banned from sensitive sites. All commercial or heavier drone flights need operator certificates, per-flight permits, and safety gear including parachutes and electronic ID. Aerial photography demands a separate permit. Police strictly enforce rules, issuing fines and suspending licenses for violations, including by tourists.
