Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Lithuanian passport needs to be valid for your entire stay in Liechtenstein. Since Liechtenstein is in the Schengen zone, you get 90 days within any 180-day period across all Schengen countries — not just Liechtenstein. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen zone | Immigration officers at Schengen entry points routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight, train, or bus booking out of the Schengen area before your 90 days expire. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation, hostel booking, or an invitation letter from your host in Liechtenstein. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the border. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your trip. There's no fixed amount for Liechtenstein, but €50–€100 per day is a safe benchmark if asked. | Recommended |
No airport in Liechtenstein
You'll enter via Switzerland or Austria. The nearest major airport is Zurich (ZRH), about 1.5 hours by train. From there, take a train to Sargans or Buchs, then a bus to Vaduz.
Schengen 90/180-day rule applies
Your 90-day allowance is shared across all Schengen countries. If you've already spent 30 days in France, you only have 60 days left for Liechtenstein and the rest of Schengen. Track your days carefully.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the Border
Liechtenstein has no airport. You'll enter via Switzerland or Austria. At the border, Swiss or Austrian officers may check your passport. If arriving by train from Zurich, you'll pass through Swiss immigration at Zurich Airport or at the border. Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation ready.
2
Present Documents
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, how long you're staying, and where you're staying. Answer clearly. They might ask for your return ticket or proof of funds. Stay calm — it's routine.
3
Receive Entry Stamp
If everything is in order, you'll get an entry stamp in your passport. This stamp records your entry date and starts your 90-day Schengen clock. Check the stamp before walking away.
4
Proceed to Liechtenstein
Once through immigration, you're free to travel to Liechtenstein. There are no internal border checks between Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Just follow the road or train signs.

Frequently asked questions
No, you don't. Lithuania is an EU member and Liechtenstein is in the Schengen Area. You can stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period without a visa.
Up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This is the standard Schengen rule. If you've already spent time in other Schengen countries, that counts toward your 90 days.
Overstaying can result in a fine, a ban from the Schengen Area, or deportation. Liechtenstein takes overstays seriously. If you need to stay longer, apply for a residence permit before your 90 days expire.

Your valid passport, a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation for your first night, and optionally proof of funds (bank statement or credit card). Travel insurance is wise but not mandatory.
