B permit for residence without employment if individually admitted.
Liechtenstein · non-employed residence
A discreet base with deliberately narrow rights.
Liechtenstein can be a personal home for financially independent people. Limited permits and the ban on local gainful work determine fit.
THE ROUTE AT A GLANCE
Understand the route before you commit.
A programme name says little about the rights you and your family will actually be able to use.
Sufficient means and limited, partly lottery-based access rather than a purchasable Golden Visa.
Gainful work in Liechtenstein is excluded for this category.
No automatic nationality or work entitlement.
01 / STARTING POINTS
What could this route make possible for you?
A residence right is valuable when its effect fits your life, family or business purpose.
A real home
Test housing, family and care as daily life in Liechtenstein.
Life after an exit
Plan the next chapter after a business sale without local work.
Use a scarce opportunity well
Pursue limited admission only if a real home is intended.
02 / LEGAL EFFECT
What the status grants. And what remains separate.
Residence, work, family and tax are not compressed into one promise.

03 / BASIS AND CAPITAL
What qualifies for this route.
Sufficient means and limited, partly lottery-based access rather than a purchasable Golden Visa.
Commitment, evidence and actual availability are reviewed for the individual case before funds are tied up.04 / LIFE BEHIND THE PERMIT
Residence alone does not settle daily life.
Who may join you, what you may do locally and how tax is affected are three distinct questions.
Family and daily life
Check relatives under the individual permit rules.
Work and business
Gainful work in Liechtenstein is excluded for this category.
Tax position
A residence permit does not determine tax residence on its own. Home, actual presence, activity and applicable treaties require separate review.
05 / MAINTENANCE AND OUTLOOK
Keeping the status is part of the decision.
A sound plan considers admission alongside presence, renewal and the longer outlook.
Presence
The status requires a real home; a mailing address is insufficient.
Renewal and duties
Maintain means and permit conditions.
Later status
No automatic nationality or work entitlement.
06 / PROCESS AND COSTS
The next step begins before applying.
