ESTA Application for Citizens of Liechtenstein

This page is available in the following languages:
Country:

Liechtenstein

Capital: Vaduz
ESTA Required: YES

In 1991, Liechtenstein joined the United States of America Visa Waiver Program (VWP). This allowed Liechtenstein citizens to travel to the U.S. under certain conditions without needing a visa. The Electronic System for Travel Authorization was introduced in 2009, and since then all travelers can apply for their Travel Authorization online.

The ESTA allows entry into the U.S. to be granted for business purposes, tourism (including for medical purposes), or to take part in non-credit studies programs. For other reasons or for a longer period of time, a visa is required. This visa can be obtained only at the closest U.S. Embassy in Bern, Switzerland (combined Branch for Switzerland and Liechtenstein). You can apply today if you are sure that you require an ESTA.

In late 2018, it became mandatory to apply for an ESTA 72 hours prior to boarding a U.S. bound aircraft. For citizens of Liechtenstein, it is advisable to apply for an ESTA at least 72 hours before you board a U.S.-bound aircraft in late 2018. If you are denied, you will need to apply for a tourist visa at your nearest U.S. Embassy. Apply as soon as possible if you plan to visit the United States. Learn more about the ESTA application.
