The Government of Liechtenstein is responsible for the protection of asylum-seekers and refugees in its territory.
In Liechtenstein, the Office for Migration and Passports (Ausländer- und Passamt) is responsible for processing asylum claims and deciding whether somebody is granted asylum in Liechtenstein.
UNHCR supports the Government in maintaining an asylum system which complies with international standards, and it advocates for the rights of asylum-seekers, refugees and stateless persons.
UNHCR has a country office for Switzerland and Liechtenstein, which is located in Bern, Switzerland. However, the office is not involved in the asylum procedure of either country. It does not intervene in individual cases or offer individual counselling.
Asylum-seekers in Liechtenstein are supported by a legal adviser during the asylum procedure. This service is free of charge.
