Liechtenstein: was man vor der Reise wissen sollte
Das Wichtigste
- Liechtenstein is in Schengen but uses Swiss francs.
- Mountain hazards and avalanche conditions need checking throughout the year.
Einreise und Visa
Liechtenstein follows Schengen short-stay rules: visa-exempt visitors share a 90-day allowance in any 180 days across the area. EES biometric registration takes place at external borders; it is not an online pre-arrival application. ETIAS is not operating; official diplomatic updates expect 2027, with no fixed launch date.
Gültigkeit des Reisepasses: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.
An der Grenze kann verlangt werden
- Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
