Property Investment in Liechtenstein as a Foreigner

The sale of real estate to foreigners is restricted in Liechtenstein: to purchase, you need to obtain a residence permit, live in the country for at least three years, and get permission from the government.

The cost of real estate depends on the area, the year of construction, the view from the window, and the presence of a terrace and underground parking.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can foreigners buy property in Liechtenstein?

    Foreigners face strict restrictions when it comes to buying Liechtenstein real estate. The government limits the number of properties that non-residents can purchase annually, and these permits are hard to obtain. Usually, only those who plan to reside in Liechtenstein or those who can prove a legitimate personal or economic tie to the country are eligible to buy property.

  • How much does a house cost in Liechtenstein?

    Liechtenstein is known for its high living standards and limited land availability, making it one of the most expensive real estate markets in Europe. The price of a house can vary greatly depending on location, size, and condition. 

    Generally, prices for houses start at around CHF 1,000,000, approximately €1,080,000 and can go much higher, especially in prime locations like Vaduz or along the Rhine River. In more exclusive areas or for larger properties, prices can reach several million Swiss Francs.
