Work

Liechtenstein is a very attractive place to work.
There are more jobs here than the country has inhabitants.
More than half of all employees commute to work in Liechtenstein from abroad.

The unemployment rate in Liechtenstein is very low. The business location is very strong and growing. Therefore, the Liechtenstein economy is dependent on well-trained workers from Liechtenstein and on cross-border commuters from abroad.

Persons living in Liechtenstein do not need a work permit. Unless it is a profession that requires a state permit. For example, a profession in the health or education sector. Lawyers also need a permit.

Cross-border commuters

Different regulations apply to cross-border commuters.

For persons from Switzerland, there is no obligation to register or obtain a permit under aliens law.

Persons from EEA states must report to the Foreigners and Passport Office no later than 10 days after starting work. The employee then receives a cross-border commuter registration confirmation.

For nationals of third countries a cross-border commuter permit is required. Third countries are all countries that do not belong to the EEA.
The application must be submitted to the Foreigners and Passport Office at least 14 days before the start of work.
If the permit is granted, it is valid for one year.

The Labor Market Service is a job portal. Many vacancies can be found there and companies can search for workers.
In addition, there is a lot of information for the job search. The counseling team of the Labor Market Service also offers personal interviews.

The LANV represents and promotes the social, economic, professional and legal interests of its members and all employees.
It stands up for basic rights and solidarity, regardless of gender, origin or age.

The flyer about LANV is available in different languages.
