I have just arrived in Liechtenstein, what should I do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is very important that you register your arrival with the Liechtenstein authorities so that you can obtain all the help you need. Go to the Migration and Passport Office (Ausl\u00e4nder- und Passamt<\/em>), located at <\/strong><\/a>Giessenstrasse 3, 9490 Vaduz<\/a><\/strong>,<\/strong> during opening hours, or to a police station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liechtenstein authorities can also be contacted via email at asyl@llv.li<\/a><\/strong> or via phone at +423 236 61 41<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have arrived in Liechtenstein alone, make sure you inform the authorities and explain where your family is, if you know. If you had problems during your journey, please share this information as well.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t know where your family is<\/strong>, you can contact the Liechtenstein Red Cross<\/strong><\/a> by email (info@roteskreuz.li<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong> or phone (+423 222 01 30<\/a>).<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you need help, you can also contact the Office of the Ombudsperson for Children and Youth<\/strong> <\/strong>which has experience in helping young people. It is best to talk to your parents or a trusted adult first, but you can also contact them on your own<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important tips<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Take good care of your identity documents (such as ID card or passport) and show them only to the authorities or trusted organizations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Always keep the contact details of your family or parents with you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Help is free for everyone. Nobody is allowed to make you work or to ask for sexual or any other favours (things or money) in exchange for assistance or help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Do not trust people you don\u2019t know and who do not belong to a trusted organization who offer to take you away from your family to give you a place to stay, for work or school. Don\u2019t accept these offers if you don\u2019t feel comfortable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • No one has the right to treat you badly. If someone has hurt you or touched or treated you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable or scared, or if you are afraid that someone will, tell an adult person that you trust or one of the organizations mentioned above. If someone you know has experienced someone hurting them, encourage them to get help. REMEMBER that this is not your fault, and you are not to blame. It is important that you receive the support you need. You don\u2019t need to be ashamed or shy to ask for help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It is normal to feel upset after having to leave your country and seeing or hearing about so many terrifying things. You may find it difficult to put things that you saw or experienced out of your mind. You may be separated from people you love and worried about them or worried about what will happen next. You may feel like nothing is familiar. Talk to someone you trust about how you are feeling. Don\u2019t hesitate to ask for help.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
