Liechtenstein Visa RequirementsFor Mauritania passport holders
Liechtenstein is a tiny principality in Central Europe and a full Schengen member. Mauritanian citizens require a Schengen C-type short-stay visa to enter the country. As Liechtenstein has no airport, entry is typically via Switzerland or Austria using the same Schengen visa.
Mauritania passport holders require a visa to enter Liechtenstein.
Apply at the Swiss Embassy or Swiss consular services center as Switzerland represents Liechtenstein for Schengen visa purposes. Required documents are the same as for Switzerland: valid passport, application form, biometric photos, travel insurance, flight and accommodation bookings, bank statements, and proof of employment. The fee is EUR 80.
Liechtenstein is part of the Schengen Area. Your stay counts toward the 90-day limit within any 180-day period for the entire Schengen zone. Learn more about Schengen rules →

Despite having no domestic airport, Liechtenstein is a Schengen member. Entry is made via Switzerland (Zurich or Basel) or Austria (Innsbruck), and the Schengen visa covers all of these. Mauritanian passport holders must apply for the Schengen visa through Switzerland's embassy as Liechtenstein does not maintain its own visa network.
How to Get There
Entry to Liechtenstein is via Switzerland or Austria. No passport control exists at the Liechtenstein border as it is inside Schengen. A valid Schengen visa is all that is needed.
Money & Banking
Liechtenstein uses the Swiss Franc (CHF) as its currency. Cash is commonly used. ATMs are available in Vaduz. Card acceptance is common in larger establishments.
