What happens at the border

Gather all required documents: valid passport, completed application form, photos, travel insurance, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, and bank statements. Make copies of everything.
2
Book an appointment
Contact the Swiss embassy in Ulaanbaatar to schedule a visa appointment. Appointments can fill up weeks in advance, so book early. You'll submit your application in person.
3
Attend the interview
Go to the Swiss embassy at the scheduled time. Bring all original documents plus photocopies. The officer will ask about your travel plans, finances, and ties to Mongolia. Biometrics (fingerprints) are taken.

Collect your passport
Pick up your passport from the embassy. If approved, check the visa sticker carefully — verify your name, passport number, validity dates, and number of entries.

Travel to Liechtenstein
Enter Liechtenstein through any Schengen border. Since Liechtenstein has no airport, you'll likely fly into Zurich (Switzerland) and take a train or drive. Have your visa and supporting documents ready for border checks.
