Fees for a Liechtenstein residence application
National permit fees are set by the Foreign Nationals Act fees ordinance; a residence permit (B) is charged as a set fee, with a reduced fee on refusal.
Important
Fees for Liechtenstein's national immigration services are charged by the Migration and Passport Office in accordance with the fees ordinance under the Foreign Nationals Act (FNA) and the Free Movement of Persons Act (FMPA). Amounts vary by permit type and service, and the office maintains a dedicated fees page with the current schedule.
Applicants should treat the fees page (and the underlying ordinance) as the authoritative source, since figures are periodically revised and differ between permit categories and between a grant and a refusal.
How fees are set
- Governed by the fees ordinance under the Foreign Nationals Act (FNA) / Free Movement of Persons Act (FMPA)
