Short-stay permit for education and training
Foreigners can get a short-stay permit for education or training in Liechtenstein if the length is known, a recognised school confirms admission, and they have the language skills needed. They must have enough money, full health insurance, suitable housing, no criminal convictions, and their departure afterwards must seem assured.
