Work

Liechtenstein is a very innovative and opportunity-rich location for business. The number of jobs is higher than the number of people living here. Every day, many workers commute from neighboring countries to Liechtenstein.

Working in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein is a very attractive place to work.

There are more jobs here than the country has residents.

More than half of all employees commute from abroad to work in Liechtenstein.

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

    Work Permit

    People living in Liechtenstein do not need a work permit unless it is a profession that requires a state license. For example, a job in the healthcare or education sector. Lawyers also need a permit.

      Cross-Border Commuters

      Different regulations apply to cross-border commuters.

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

      Individuals from EEA countries must register with the Foreigners and Pass Office no later than 10 days after starting work. The employee then receives a cross-border commuter registration confirmation.

      For relatives from third countries , a cross-border commuter permit is necessary. Third countries are those that do not belong to the EEA.

      The application must be submitted no later than 14 days before the start of work at the Foreigners and Pass Office.

      If the permit is granted, it is valid for one year.

      Labor Market Service (AMS FL)

      The Labor Market Service is a job portal. Many job vacancies can be found there, and companies can search for workers.

      There is also a lot of information available for job searching. The consulting team of the Labor Market Service also offers personal meetings.

      Liechtenstein Employees' Association (LANV)

      The LANV represents and promotes the social, economic, professional, and legal interests of its members as well as all employees.

      It advocates for fundamental rights and solidarity, regardless of gender, origin or age.

      The flyer about the LANV is available in various languages.
