Liechtenstein maintaining COVID-19-related entry and domestic restrictions as of July 28; travel and business disruptions likely.

Event

Liechtenstein maintains various international entry and domestic restrictions as part of ongoing efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 as of July 28. Authorities conform closely with the entry requirements of neighboring Switzerland. Under most circumstances, only citizens and residents of EEA-associated countries, in addition to select other locations, including Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand, may enter for nonessential purposes. All individuals arriving by air must present proof of vaccination against COVID-19, recovery from COVID-19 between 10 days and six months before entry, or a negative PCR or antigen test taken no more than 72 hours or 48 hours before entry, respectively. Authorities allow permitted individuals who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have recovered from the disease in the past six months to enter from other locations without restrictions.

The UK, India, and Nepal are designated locations of high concern due to virus variants. Unvaccinated persons who have visited these countries within the previous 10 days must fill out an entry form before arrival, show a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours before departure, and self-isolate for 10 days upon entry; individuals who test negative for COVID-19 on or after day seven of their quarantine period can exit self-isolation early.
