Filming in Liechtenstein

Hiring a fixer in Liechtenstein

Did you know that around half of Liechtenstein’s territory is mountainous and that Liechtenstein is the only country with 100% of its area in the alpine region? Liechtenstein does not have an extensive filming infrastructure, but you can find talent and equipment in Switzerland. It is also quite expensive, but our fixer in Liechtenstein will obtain your deals and will monitor your budget closely to make up for it. Filming in Liechtenstein, you will fall in love with nature all over again!

Visa for Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein is a Schengen Area member state. Work permits are not required for filming in Liechtenstein. Visiting Western crews can enter Liechtenstein visa-free for stays of up to 90 days. Note, that for crews who need visas, Liechtenstein does not issue its own. There are no border controls between Switzerland and Liechtenstein. As such, the same visa policies apply for Liechtenstein as they do for Switzerland. Not to worry, we can help you obtain visas for you and your crew.

Film Permits in Liechtenstein

Fixer Liechtenstein can help you obtain all the right film permits here, no matter if the location or locations of your choice are private or public.

A fixer in Liechtenstein will let you know exactly what to expect in terms of timelines and documents required, so that we obtain your film permits for you even before you get here, with the least amount of effort from your side.

Special equipment renting info

Given the limited options in terms of equipment, we can help you bring in specialized gear. For example, there is an abundance of good quality equipment available in Switzerland, Geneva, and Zurich.

If you are planning on bringing equipment to Liechtenstein, it is an ATA carnet country. Also known as the merchandise passport, is an internationally-recognized customs document that allows goods to move into foreign markets free of duty and tax.

Cultural facts

Talking about film permits in Liechtenstein, here is what else you need to be mindful of when filming here. Much of Liechtenstein’s culture is directly derived from surrounding European influences. This includes the language, spirituality, and art, but locals get somewhat insulted if travelers called them Swiss, Austrian, or German as they are proud of their independent nation. 

The country is religious. The people are mainly Catholic, so do not be surprised if Sundays in Vaduz are quiet.

Weather when filming in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein has a continental Alpine climate. You will discover when filming in Liechtenstein, that despite its location, prevailing southernly winds make for a comparatively mild climate. Winters (November to March) can come with heavy snowfalls. Summers (June to September) are mild and often cloudy. June has the most hours of daylight, up to 16. The nicest time to be filming is Spring (April to May), as mountain flowers bloom. During Fall (October to November), the leaves are beautiful colors, worth immortalizing as well.

Tax rebate in Liechtenstein

At present, there are no tax incentives for foreign commercials or films shot in Liechtenstein. Also, Liechtenstein is a relatively expensive place. It trades in the Swiss Franc.
