1. Where is the presence of Embassy/Consulate of Monaco in India?
Monaco does not have separate Embassy/Consulate in India, all visa applications for applicants travelling to Monaco are routed through France Consulate/Embassy in India.
2. Is it necessary to have Personal Appearance for Visa submission?
As Monaco visas are governed by France, Schengen regulations are applicable. From 02nd November 2015, Schengen Countries have started Biometrics process for visa submission, so every applicant has to go personally to France VFS (Visa Facilitation Center), a body appointed by Consulates for completing Biometrics procedure i.e. to capture Finger Printing, palm printing, Live photo.

Yes prior appointment is a must before you go to France VFS Center, Appointment can be taken from VFS Site. Passengers can’t go as Walk in for Visa submission.
5. Can I go to any VFS Center for Biometrics?
France consulate follow Visa Jurisdiction (Geographical Coverage of each Consulate), Place of Residence of Applicant continuously for last 6 months will decide his jurisdiction for Visa & then he can go to any VFS Center which is falling under his Visa Jurisdiction, below examples will throw more light on this
a) If Applicant is based in Mumbai & for some work / meeting he has travelled to Delhi & wants to apply for France visa, in this case as passenger is residing in Mumbai, his jurisdiction for Visa is Mumbai & not Delhi & hence even though France VFS Centers are present in both Delhi & Mumbai, he has to apply for his visa from Mumbai VFS center & not Delhi
b) If applicant’s passport is issued from Mumbai but for last 6 months he is staying in Chennai wants to apply for France Visa, in this case as he is based in Chennai for last 6 months, his visa jurisdiction is Chennai & hence he has to apply visa from Chennai VFS & not Mumbai VFS

Passengers who are in possession of Valid Multiple entry visas to USA/Canada can transit without Visa through Schengen Airport but it is always advisable to check whether Transit Visa will be required or not as this will depend on so many factors like How many hours you have a transit halt, Which Airline you are travelling, whether you are changing Airports / Terminals / If you come out of the Airport etc.
