Physical appearance

Liechtenstein passports are blue with the coat of arms of Liechtenstein emblazoned in the centre. The words "FÜRSTENTUM LIECHTENSTEIN" are inscribed above the coat of arms, with "REISEPASS" and the international biometric passport symbol below.

Effect of Liechtenstein citizenship

Citizens of Liechtenstein are allowed to reside in Switzerland. Additionally, as a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), citizens of Liechtenstein are permitted to take up residence in any EEA member state.

Citizens of EEA member states, which consist of the European Union and three of the four European Free Trade Association states (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) enjoy the freedom to travel and work in any EEA country without a visa, although transitory dispositions may restrict the rights of citizens of new member states to work in other countries. These same rights apply to Switzerland through a series of bilateral agreements.

Visa requirements

In 2016, Liechtenstein citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 164 countries and territories, ranking the Liechtenstein passport 12th in the world according to the Visa Restrictions Index.
