Liechtenstein has a quota system for residence permits, making it more difficult for EU/EEA citizens to obtain a permit compared to other EEA countries. You must apply for a residence permit, which can be challenging due to the limited number of permits issued annually. This often requires having a job lined up before you apply.
You need a work permit to be employed in Liechtenstein. Securing a job beforehand is crucial as employers typically assist in obtaining the necessary permits.
