Living in Liechtenstein

By Joshua Wood, LPC

Last updated on Jan 10, 2024

Summary: People describe life in Liechtenstein as peaceful, safe, and prosperous. Expats love the country's stunning natural beauty, its low crime rate, and its excellent infrastructure. The average cost of living for an expat is estimated to be around $3,000 to $4,000 per month. The population of Liechtenstein is estimated to be around 38,000 people. The largest cities in Liechtenstein are Vaduz, Schaan, Triesen, Balzers, and Eschen. The cons of living in Liechtenstein include the high cost of living, the small size of the country, and the limited job opportunities. Additionally, the country is not part of the European Union, so expats may have difficulty accessing certain services and benefits.

What do I need to know about living in Liechtenstein?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Liechtenstein, they said:

"Before retiring in Liechtenstein, expats should be aware that the cost of living is relatively high compared to other countries in Europe. Additionally, Liechtenstein is a small country with a population of only 38,000 people, so expats should be prepared to live in a close-knit community. Expats should also be aware that Liechtenstein is a German-speaking country, so it is important to have a basic understanding of the language. Furthermore, Liechtenstein has a strong economy and a low unemployment rate, so expats should be prepared to find a job if they wish to stay in the country. Finally, expats should be aware that Liechtenstein has a high standard of living, so they should be prepared to pay higher taxes than in other countries," commented one expat who made the move to Liechtenstein.
