| Local-work rules | For non-EEA and non-Swiss nationals, a B employment permit may be issued only to managers, specialists and other qualified employees with vocational training or substantial professional experience. Liechtenstein generally has no obligation to grant a permit to third-country nationals and considers national economic interests; a complete application is not a guaranteed entitlement.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
