Liechtensteiner nationality law details the conditions by which an individual is a national of Liechtenstein. The primary law governing these requirements is the Law on the Acquisition and Loss of Citizenship, which came into force on 4 January 1934.
Liechtenstein is a member state of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the Schengen Area. All Liechtensteiner nationals have automatic and permanent permission to live and work in any European Union (EU) or EFTA country.
Any person born to at least one Liechtensteiner parent receives citizenship at birth, regardless of the place of birth. Foreign nationals may naturalise after living in the country for at least 5 years, renouncing any previous nationalities, becoming accepted as local citizens of a municipality by popular vote, and demonstrating proficiency in the German language.
