How we read these four advisories

Every country has its own scale, so we ask them all the same question: is the whole country advised against?

An advisory covering only areas of the country does not raise the answer: it stays “No”, and the area is shown in the relevant column.

The level shown on this page — and across this site — is the one published by the U.S. State Department, from 1 (normal precautions) to 4 (do not travel). France and the United Kingdom publish their own advisories, with their own rules: they add to that level, they do not replace it.

Health insurance cards

Liechtenstein now accepts health insurance cards .

To get medically necessary state healthcare in Liechtenstein, you need a Global Health Insurance Card ( GHIC ) or a European Health Insurance Card ( EHIC ).

  • changes to travel and accommodation bookings
  • additional standard costs for treatment
  • medical repatriation to the UK
  • treatment that is ruled non-urgent
  • private healthcare
  • private clinics

Terrorism

There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.

UK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out how to reduce your risk from terrorism while abroad .

Terrorism in Liechtenstein

Although there’s no recent history of terrorism in Liechtenstein, attacks cannot be ruled out.

Attacks could be indiscriminate including in places visited by foreign nationals. Stay aware of your surroundings, keep up to date with local media reports and follow the advice of local authorities.

Crime

Crime levels are low, but there are instances of petty street crime. Take precautions to avoid bag-snatching and pickpocketing and do not leave your valuables unattended.

Illegal drugs

Illegal drugs, including cannabis, carry severe penalties. You should expect a long jail sentence and heavy fines for possessing, using or smuggling illegal drugs, including when transiting through the country.

Outdoor activities and adventure tourism

There is a risk of avalanches in mountainous areas all year round. You can check updates from the European Avalanche Warning Service . Follow all warnings and consider carrying search equipment.

Conditions on roads in mountainous areas can quickly become difficult in winter. Carry water, food, warm clothing and medicines in your vehicle.

Hiking and mountaineering

Check weather forecasts and conditions and make sure you’re properly equipped for the worst-case scenario. Do not undertake any activity alone and consider hiring a guide. Always leave a copy of your itinerary with someone.

Alpine hazards throughout the year include:

  • avalanches and snowdrifts
  • landslides and flooding
  • glacial crevasses and hollows
  • rockfall
  • thunderstorms
  • altitude sickness
  • sun exposure
  • sudden weather changes

If you are taking part in extreme sports, check the company is well established and make sure the specific activities are covered by your travel insurance.

Skiing

Off-piste skiing is highly dangerous. Your insurance should include mountain rescue services, helicopter costs and repatriation or transfer to neighbouring countries for treatment.

Avalanche beepers (receivers) are the most common rescue devices and when properly used provide the fastest way of locating an avalanche victim.

Read more about preparing for winter sports abroad .

Road travel

If you are planning to drive in Liechtenstein, see information on driving abroad and check the rules of the road in RAC’s Liechtenstein guide . The guide lists driving regulations and other legal requirements you need to be aware of.

You can drive in Liechtenstein with a UK driving licence. You do not need an international driving permit (IDP).

Check if you need a UK sticker to drive your car outside the UK . Alpine winters make driving more difficult. Equip your car with winter tyres and snow-chains, and check road conditions before departure.

If you are visiting Liechtenstein, you may be able to use your Blue Badge in some circumstances. Check local parking rules.

The police strictly enforce road regulations. If you are stopped by police for a traffic offence you could face a heavy fine and a possible prison sentence.

  • British citizens may stay visa-free in Liechtenstein for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, visiting family, business meetings, or short-term studies. Foreign Office
  • Overstaying the 90-day visa-free limit may result in a ban from entering Schengen countries for up to 3 years. Foreign Office
  • Upon first entry to the Schengen area, you may be required to register biometric details including fingerprints and photo at a special booth; this registration is free. Foreign Office
  • Children aged 11 or younger will not have fingerprints scanned but may be required to have their photo taken for Entry/Exit System registration. Foreign Office

Entry requirements — rules for a British passportForeign Office ↗updated 11.08.2026 · read 15.10.2026

Entry requirements — rules for a British passport

This information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of the current rules for the most common types of travel.

Switzerland handles immigration and customs matters for Liechtenstein. If you’re not sure how the Swiss entry requirements apply to you, contact the Swiss Embassy in the UK .

Passport validity requirements

Liechtenstein follows Schengen area rules . Your passport must:

- have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive – if you renewed your passport before 1 October 2018, it might have a date of issue that is more than 10 years ago, making it invalid for entry to the Schengen area

- have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave the Schengen area (the expiry date does not need to be within 10 years of the date of issue)

Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document, or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.

Dual nationals

When returning to the UK, British citizens must carry a valid British passport or certificate of entitlement . See Dual citizenship .

Visa requirements

You can travel without a visa to the Schengen area , which includes Liechtenstein, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This applies if you travel:

  • as a tourist
  • to visit family or friends
  • to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events
  • for short-term studies or training

The requirements for working in Liechtenstein are different.

If you’re travelling to other Schengen countries as well, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day visa-free limit. Visits to Schengen countries in the 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days. If you overstay the 90-day visa-free limit, you may be banned from entering Schengen countries for up to 3 years.

Staying longer than 90 days in a 180-day period

To stay longer, you must meet the Liechtenstein government’s entry requirements. Check which type of visa or work permit you need (in German).

If you’re in Liechtenstein with a residence permit or long-stay visa, this does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit.

See entry processes if you live in Liechtenstein .

New Schengen entry requirements

The European Union’s (EU) new Entry/Exit System (EES) is now being implemented across the Schengen area.

This means that when you travel into the Schengen area for short stays, you may need to register your biometric details, such as fingerprints and a photo. There is no cost for EES registration.

On your first visit into a Schengen country, you may be asked to register your details at a special booth before proceeding to the immigration desk. Follow directions from your travel operator or the staff at your port of entry. You may also need to provide either your fingerprint or photo when you leave the Schengen area. Children aged 11 or younger will not have their fingerprints scanned but can be required to have their photo taken.

You do not need to take any…

What are the entry requirements for Liechtenstein with my passport?

The rules depend on the passport, not on the destination alone.

British citizens may stay visa-free in Liechtenstein for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, visiting family, business meetings, or short-term studies. Overstaying the 90-day visa-free limit may result in a ban from entering Schengen countries for up to 3 years.

Do I need an insurance certificate for a Liechtenstein visa?

For a Schengen visa, yes: at least €30,000 of travel medical insurance (Regulation (EC) No 810/2009, art. 15).

  • Many other countries ask for it on entry or for a visa, case by case: check Before you go › Entry, with your passport.

Are a health plan or a travel policy enough in Liechtenstein?

A health plan reimburses at home; here, the hospital asks for a payment guarantee before admission.

  • Health plan — A health plan treats you at home. Here the hospital asks for a guarantee before admission — not a later reimbursement.
  • Travel policy — No area exclusion at this level — compare cap, deductible and covered duration.
  • A travel policy often has a territorial clause at level 4/4 and a 90-day limit per trip.

What Maximum knows

The 207 country pages — hospitals, pharmacies, police, embassies, emergency numbers, official advice from four governments, health, safety in figures, events in progress — read around the city you name. Your policy — benefits, the six steps, claims, articles. The site — prices, certificate, subscription. Nothing else: what it does not know, it says so and hands you to an adviser.
