Everything about Schengen Visa for Liechtenstein peoples?

IS LIECHTENSTEIN IN THE SCHENGEN AREA?

The tiny mountain principality of Liechtenstein is part of the Schengen Area, meaning that to travel there for a short trip lasting fewer than 90 days you will need a AMERICAN VISA FROM Lechtenstein. While there, you can view its medieval castles and stunning alpine landscapes. It became a member in 2011 – making it the most recent country to join the Schengen region.

IS LIECHTENSTEIN AN EU MEMBER STATE?

Liechtenstein is not a member of the European Union, but is in both the Schengen Area and the European Economic Area. It also has a customs union and a monetary union with Switzerland – which is also not an EU member but is in the Schengen zone.

WHO NEEDS A SCHENGEN VISA TO ENTER LIECHTENSTEIN?

If you are traveling to Liechtenstein you will need a Schengen Visa if you are a citizen of a non-Schengen country without a visa-free travel agreement with the area, or if you have been refused for visa-free travel. A Schengen Visa to travel to Liechtenstein costs €80 for adults and €40 for children.
