No border control between Switzerland and Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein is in a customs and monetary union with Switzerland. Once you enter Switzerland, you can travel freely to Liechtenstein without any additional checks. Your entry stamp from Swiss immigration is all you need.
90-day limit applies to all Schengen countries
Your 90-day visa-free stay is for the entire Schengen Area, not just Liechtenstein. If you've already spent time in France, Germany, Italy, or other Schengen countries, that time counts toward your 90-day limit. Use the Schengen calculator to track your days.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the border
Liechtenstein does not have its own airport. Most visitors fly into Zurich Airport (ZRH) in Switzerland, then take a train or drive to Liechtenstein. At Zurich, you'll go through Swiss immigration (Schengen entry). Have your passport, return ticket, and accommodation details ready.
2
Present your documents
At passport control, hand over your passport. The officer may ask: purpose of visit, length of stay, where you're staying, and when you leave. Answer briefly and honestly. They rarely ask for proof of funds or insurance for short visits.
3
Receive entry stamp
If everything is in order, you'll get an entry stamp in your passport. This stamp records the date you entered the Schengen Area. Keep it visible — it's your proof of legal entry. The officer will not issue a separate visa or permit.
4
Travel to Liechtenstein
Once you're in Switzerland, there are no border checks between Switzerland and Liechtenstein. You can take a train to Buchs SG or Sargans, then a bus to Vaduz. No additional paperwork is needed.

Frequently asked questions
No. Chilean passport holders can enter Liechtenstein visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, business, or family visits. This applies to all Schengen countries.
Up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The clock starts the day you enter any Schengen country (e.g., Switzerland, Germany, France). If you've already spent time in other Schengen countries, that counts toward your 90-day limit.
Generally no. Liechtenstein does not allow visa-free extensions for tourism. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a national visa (type D) at the Liechtenstein embassy before traveling. This is only granted for specific reasons like work or study.
Your valid passport (6+ months validity), a return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation for your first night. Travel insurance and proof of funds are not always asked, but it's smart to have them ready.
No. Liechtenstein is part of the Schengen Area, so the same visa rules apply as for Switzerland, Germany, or France. If you have a valid Schengen visa from another country, you can use it to enter Liechtenstein.
Overstaying can result in a fine, a ban from re-entering the Schengen Area, or both. The Swiss authorities (who handle immigration for Liechtenstein) take overstays seriously. If you realize you'll overstay, contact the local immigration office in Vaduz before your visa-free period ends.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and family visits only. If you plan to work, study, or stay longer than 90 days, you must apply for the appropriate permit from the Liechtenstein authorities before you travel.
