Obtain Visa for Liechtenstein

Citizens of countries subject to the Schengen visa requirement need to obtain a visa from the authorities in Switzerland who are responsible for the immigration and customs matters. EU (European Union) country members do not need visas to enter Liechtenstein for stays of up to 90 days. If you want to travel to Lichtenstein from a country outside the EU/EEA, a visa is required only if your country is on the Schengen visa list. Additional information and legal support can be obtained from our lawyers in Liechtenstein on request.

Liechtenstein entry conditions for EU citizens

Citizens from EU do not need a visa to enter Liechtenstein and can enter with a valid passport or national identity card. Anyone can stay in Liechtenstein for 90 days, after this period being necessary other types of visas like residency or work permits. It is good to know that Switzerland and Liechtenstein share the same entry conditions, including the ones for passengers who only transit Liechtenstein. For a legal stay in Liechtenstein for work purposes, different conditions will apply, a matter where our attorneys in Liechtenstein can help.

Citizens from countries like Morocco, Indonesia, North Korea, Belarus, Central African Republic, Russia, Egypt, Uzbekistan, China, India, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Madagascar, Libya, Maldives or Turkey need a visa to enter Liechtenstein, with a validity of three months. The Swiss authorities will issue the visa if the following documents are prepared:
