Liechtenstein

Country: Liechtenstein

More jobs than inhabitants: 57% of jobs are held by cross-border commuters, and only 416 people were registered unemployed in August 2026. But as an EEA citizen you need a permit for every job, and residence permits are limited and partly drawn by lottery. Find out where to look for work, what the rules are and how commuting works.

Liechtenstein has no official guide to application habits of its own – the EURES page on Liechtenstein is still being prepared. In practice:

  • German is the official language, so be ready to apply and work in German unless the job ad says otherwise,
  • prepare a clear CV and cover letter – the Europass tools can help,
  • keep copies of your diplomas and references at hand.

Diplomas: the ENIC-NARIC centre for Liechtenstein is the Office of Education (Schulamt) – see the ENIC-NARIC page on Liechtenstein. Recognition of professional qualifications for regulated professions is governed by a separate law of 13 December 2007; the EU database of regulated professions shows which professions are regulated.
