Apply at the Swiss embassy
Liechtenstein does not have its own embassy in Mongolia. All visa applications are handled by the Swiss embassy in Ulaanbaatar. Book your appointment early — slots can fill up quickly.
Schengen rules apply
Your visa allows travel to all 27 Schengen countries, not just Liechtenstein. But you must enter through the country that issued the visa (Switzerland) unless you have a multi-entry visa.

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.
