Residence permit for spouses, children under 18 (under 21 for EEA), and dependent parents of permit holders, with validity matching the primary applicant's permit duration.
The Family Reunification Permit is a critical provision within Liechtenstein's immigration framework, designed to uphold the principle of family unity by allowing residents to bring their immediate family members to live with them in the country. This permit is available to the spouses and dependent children of individuals who already hold a valid residence permit in Liechtenstein. By facilitating the relocation of core family members, the system supports the long-term integration and well-being of foreign nationals who are contributing to the country's social and economic life, ensuring that they can maintain a stable family environment while residing in the Principality.
To be qualifying for family reunification, the primary resident must prove that they have adequate housing to accommodate the family and sufficient financial resources to support all members without recourse to public assistance. The definition of family members generally includes spouses and children under the age of 18, though provisions may extend to age 21 for EEA nationals. The application process requires proof of the family relationship and adherence to specific administrative procedures, including a fee of CHF 1,060. This permit is an essential component of the immigration system, reflecting the government's commitment to supporting the families of those who have been granted the right to reside in Liechtenstein.
