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:
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.
Key figures: Eurostat (population on 1 January 2026; unemployment and employment rates 2025; minimum wages July 2026); for the United Kingdom – Office for National Statistics; for Liechtenstein – national statistics. Country information: EURES – Living and working conditions, public employment services and the official government websites listed under each country. Rules, thresholds and amounts can change – check the official sources before you move. Updated: October 2026.
