Current Travel Situation
Iran to Liechtenstein: What You Need to Know
Liechtenstein is a tiny landlocked principality between Switzerland and Austria. It is a full Schengen member and is one of the smallest countries in the world. Iranian nationals require a Schengen Type C visa to visit, and since Liechtenstein has no diplomatic mission in Iran, consular services are provided through the Swiss Embassy in Tehran.
Liechtenstein is primarily visited as a day trip from Switzerland (Zurich or Chur) or Austria (Feldkirch). Its capital Vaduz is home to a hilltop castle, a national museum, and a surprisingly vibrant art scene. The country is also known as a major financial center and has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world.
Because Switzerland handles Liechtenstein's consular affairs, a Schengen visa issued by Switzerland for travel to Liechtenstein is entirely valid, and applicants should mention Liechtenstein in their itinerary when applying.
Practical Tips
Liechtenstein is tiny; most visitors see the entire country in a single day. Combine a visit with Switzerland, spending several days in Zurich or Lucerne before a day trip to Vaduz. Liechtenstein uses the Swiss Franc (CHF). You can get your passport stamped with a Liechtenstein stamp at the tourist office in Vaduz for a small fee, which is a popular souvenir for travelers. There are no border controls between Switzerland, Austria, and Liechtenstein within the Schengen zone.
