Description

Swiss citizens do not require a visa to enter Liechtenstein. Thanks to close bilateral agreements and Liechtenstein’s membership in the Schengen Area, Swiss travelers enjoy complete freedom of movement across the border. This means that Swiss citizens can enter Liechtenstein using only a valid Swiss passport or identity card, without any need for prior travel authorisation, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival.

Our Travel Authorisation Liechtenstein service provides Swiss travelers with practical guidance on entry rules, stay limits under Schengen, and important travel details such as health insurance and customs requirements. While formal visa paperwork is not required, preparation is still valuable to ensure smooth travel, especially if onward journeys within the Schengen Zone are planned.

Visa process and timing
There is no need to apply for a visa in advance or at the border. Entry into Liechtenstein from Switzerland is seamless, with no routine passport checks thanks to the countries’ customs and border union. However, travelers should still carry valid ID at all times, as checks may occasionally occur.

Entry requirements for Swiss citizens

A valid Swiss passport or national ID card
Proof of onward travel or accommodation may be requested when arriving from outside Schengen territory
Compliance with Schengen rules (maximum 90 days within any 180-day period for non-residents traveling across the area)
Swiss citizens who are also Liechtenstein residents or workers may stay without time limits

Health and insurance rules

No mandatory vaccinations are required for entry
European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) coverage applies for Swiss citizens in Liechtenstein
Travel insurance is recommended to cover extra costs not included in EHIC, such as repatriation or private care

Customs and border rules

Liechtenstein forms a customs union with Switzerland — the same customs allowances and restrictions apply as when entering Switzerland
Duty-free limits apply for alcohol, tobacco, and goods from outside the Schengen customs area
Travelers should declare large amounts of cash if exceeding the €10,000 threshold

Stay limits and extensions
Swiss citizens may stay freely in Liechtenstein without restriction, since both countries maintain a close integration agreement. For non-resident Swiss citizens traveling under Schengen rules, the 90/180-day limit applies when combined with other Schengen countries.

Liechtenstein is a small but stunning Alpine country, offering Swiss travelers easy access to mountain scenery, medieval castles, and cultural attractions. With our Travel Authorisation Liechtenstein service, Swiss citizens receive clear information on entry conditions, Schengen rules, and practical travel preparation.
