Alright, so I wanted to get a visa for Liechtenstein, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey. First off, I had to figure out if I even needed a visa. Turns out, if you’re from a Schengen Area country, you’re good to go without one. But for the rest of us, we gotta go through the process.
I started by checking the requirements. It’s pretty straightforward – you gotta fill out this online form called ETIAS. It’s basically your personal info, passport details, and some travel stuff. Nothing too crazy.
Filling Out the Form
So, I got down to filling out this ETIAS form. It wasn’t too bad. Just had to put in my basic information, like name, address, and all that jazz. Then came the passport stuff, which was easy enough. I just grabbed my passport and copied the details over. The travel information was a bit more involved, but I had already planned out my trip, so I just plugged in the dates and places I’d be visiting.

Important Note: The initial application has to be submitted at the Visa Application Center in Chicago. I found some info about this on the VFS website. They have all the details you need.
Submitting the Application
After filling out the form, I had to submit it. The online part was done, but then I found out I needed to go in person to this place in Chicago. It’s called the Visa Application Center. I double-checked everything on the form, made sure it was all accurate, and then scheduled an appointment.
At the appointment, they checked my documents and made sure everything was in order. It was pretty quick, actually. I was in and out in no time. They told me it would take a bit of time to process, and I just had to wait for their response.
Waiting for the Visa
Now came the waiting game. I checked my email every day, hoping to see that approval. It took a couple of weeks, but finally, I got the email saying my visa was approved! I was so relieved. It’s not a super complicated process, but it does take some time and patience.
- Check if you need a visa: First step, always.
- Fill out the ETIAS form: Basic, passport, and travel info.
- Submit in Chicago: Initial application goes to the Visa Application Center.
- Wait for approval: This part takes the longest.
So, yeah, that’s how I got my Liechtenstein visa. It wasn’t too painful, just a few steps you gotta follow. If you’re planning to visit Liechtenstein, make sure you start this process early, just in case it takes longer than expected. Good luck!
