Overview
This is a long-stay visa for stays exceeding 90 days (e.g., study, long-term work).
The National Type D visa is intended for individuals planning to stay in Liechtenstein for more than 90 days for purposes such as employment or education. Because Liechtenstein does not issue its own visas, the process involves coordination between the applicant, the Swiss representation, and the Liechtenstein Migration and Passport Office.
This visa is typically tied to a specific residence permit and is subject to national quotas.
