The verdict in three sentences
The website of an investor visa and citizenship law firm in Monaco must first earn the trust of wealthy families comparing several advisers from abroad, with dated programme pages, a transparent method and visible discretion. Agencies in Monaco and on the Riviera usually charge EUR 15,000 to 40,000 for this kind of site (2026 ballpark), against Kolonell's fixed grid of EUR 2,700 (Starter), 4,500 (Growth) and 8,200 (Premium). The real question is not the headline price but the total cost once legal translation and compliance review are added.
What your clients check before they call
An Italian entrepreneur considering US residence, a British family weighing several European options or a Lebanese business owner living in Monaco does not book a meeting on a hunch. They read, often in several languages, and look for answers on eligibility, timelines, costs and risks. Programmes change often: in the United States, EB-5 was reformed by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, and several European golden visa schemes have been closed or restricted in recent years. Every statement must therefore be dated and presented as general information, never as advice or a promise of approval.
| Page | What the client looks for | What the page must avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Programmes covered | Country, principle, date of last update | Any promise of approval or guaranteed timeline |
| Method and steps | Typical process, the firm's role, documents requested | A pushy sales tone |
| Fees and costs | Fee structure, third-party costs to expect | Undated programme amounts |
| Team | Actual qualifications, languages spoken, jurisdictions | Unverifiable titles or affiliations |
| Confidentiality | Data handling, discretion, secure contact | Client names or photos |
| Frequently asked questions | Risks, possible refusals, alternatives | Answers that read like personal advice |
| Contact | Minimal form, meetings in Monaco or by video | A form demanding net worth and documents upfront |
Professional rules governing lawyers' and advisers' communication apply, and Monaco has its own personal data protection legislation with its own supervisory authority: the contact form should be limited to what is strictly needed. This is not legal advice.
Monaco prices against the Kolonell grid
The local market mixes Monegasque agencies used to luxury clients and studios in Nice or Menton. The figures below are prudent 2026 ballparks drawn from typical local agency quotes.
| Provider | Observed price (2026 ballpark) | Usual timeline | Languages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riviera freelancer | EUR 5,000 to 12,000 excl. VAT | 6 to 10 weeks | Often one, client supplies text |
| Local agency | EUR 15,000 to 40,000 excl. VAT | 8 to 14 weeks | Translation billed on top |
| Premium Monaco agency | EUR 45,000 to 100,000+ excl. VAT | 3 to 6 months | Per quote |
| Kolonell Starter | EUR 2,700 | 3 to 4 weeks | Native copywriting included |
| Kolonell Growth | EUR 4,500 | 3 to 4 weeks | Native copywriting included |
| Kolonell Premium | EUR 8,200 | 4 to 6 weeks | Multilingual tier, languages set in the quote |
Every tier includes a project manager reachable in Monaco's time zone, native copywriting and 3 months of support. Secure client areas for exchanging documents, booking linked to a CRM, or any integration are priced on quote. Details are on the international offer page.
Additional costs and a three-year budget
Third-party amounts below are market assumptions, not Kolonell prices.
| Cost line over 3 years | With Kolonell Premium | With a local agency |
|---|---|---|
| Build | EUR 8,200 | EUR 30,000 (midpoint of the range) |
| Legal translation of an additional language | EUR 2,500 to 4,500 (market assumption) | Often billed on top, similar amount |
| Compliance review of programme pages | EUR 1,500 to 3,500 (market assumption) | Same |
| Team portraits and office photos | EUR 1,500 to 3,000 (market assumption) | Sometimes included |
| Dated updates of programme pages | On quote | EUR 300 to 900 per month (market assumption) |
| Hosting and domain | EUR 600 to 1,500 (market assumption) | Same |
The most underestimated line is programme updates: a page showing outdated conditions does more harm than no page at all.
When a Monegasque agency remains the right choice
If your firm needs weekly in-person meetings, a brand identity built from scratch with an editorial photo shoot, or a complex client portal linked to your practice management software from launch, an experienced local agency can justify its fee. A remote studio makes sense when the goal is a sober, precise, multilingual site delivered within weeks.

Questions to ask any provider: who updates programme pages when a rule changes, and within how many days; how is the confidentiality of inquiries ensured; who reviews each language; does the firm keep ownership of content and access.
Mini case study
Illustrative example: the firm “Larvotto Mobility Partners”, five advisers with French, British and Italian clients, wants a site in French, English and Italian. It chooses Premium, the multilingual tier, in French, English and Italian, at EUR 8,200. It adds legal translation of the Italian at EUR 3,500 (market assumption), a compliance review at EUR 2,500 (market assumption) and portraits at EUR 2,000 (market assumption): 8,200 + 3,500 + 2,500 + 2,000 = EUR 16,200. A local agency quote of EUR 38,000 with the same review reaches EUR 40,500. The EUR 24,300 difference can later fund a secure client area, priced on quote.
FAQ
Why such a price gap with Monaco agencies?
Local agencies build in discovery phases, in-person workshops and high overheads, hence quotes of EUR 15,000 to 40,000. A fixed grid from EUR 2,700 to 8,200 rests on a scope defined in advance.
Can the site show programme investment amounts?
Yes, provided they are dated and the official source is cited. A programme changed 6 months ago can make a page misleading.
How long until the site is live?
3 to 4 weeks for Starter and Growth, 4 to 6 weeks for Premium. Legal review of each language often adds 1 to 2 weeks.
Can we publish client testimonials?
With care: discretion is part of the promise, and professional rules govern this kind of content. Anonymised journeys, such as “a family of 4 residing in Monaco”, are often preferable.
What happens after the 3 months of support?
Maintenance and updates of programme pages are priced on quote. Plan at least a quarterly content review.
