VISA REGIME

ENTERING AND LEAVING THE COUNTRY
Holders of biometric passports of the Republic of Serbia do not need a visa to stay for up to 90 days in a period of six months. Visas are obtained at the Swiss Embassy in Belgrade, which also issues visas for the Principality of Liechtenstein. It is not possible to obtain a visa at border crossings. The period of validity of the passport for tourist travel must be 3 months from the date of leaving Liechtenstein, while the passport must be issued in the last 10 years. The passport must be valid at the time of regulating the stay.
Holders of a passport holding a residence permit in one of the Schengen Member States or a valid visa for a longer stay of category D of the Schengen Member State are not obliged to hold a passport valid for 3 months after the date of leaving Liechtenstein. Also, persons who have a passport of the Republic of Serbia valid for less than 3 months, may leave Liechtenstein and re-enter its territory, if they have a residence permit B or C category (residents). However, these persons are reminded that the border authorities of Croatia, Slovenia and other countries on the road between Liechtenstein and Serbia, require that the passport be valid for more than 90 days from the day of entry into those countries, despite the fact that their holders have a regulated stay in Liechtenstein. Therefore, persons whose passport is valid for less than 90 days are advised to use air transport to Serbia (and back).
Considering the very expensive medical services, it is recommended to have travel health insurance. It may happen that the border authorities request an insurance certificate for inspection. In terms of bringing in and taking out cash money, there are no restrictions or declaration obligations. However, it is possible for border authorities to control the origin of money at a border crossing in case a person has more than 10,000 Swiss francs (CHF). It is necessary to have enough funds to stay in Liechtenstein, at least 150 CHF per day of staying. In terms of bringing in excise goods, persons older than 17 may bring in 1 box of cigarettes, or 50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco, a maximum of 5 litres of spirits with maximum 18% of alcohol, and one litre of spirits with more than 18% of alcohol.
