Answer ... As a general rule, immigration to Liechtenstein is highly restricted. It is generally possible to obtain short residence permits for a one-year stay, which can be extended in exceptional cases for a further six months.

These permits are generally reserved for specialists and/or upon showing an urgent need that cannot be satisfied by a Liechtenstein citizen or a cross-border commuter.
