Switzerland's mission in Damascus, for Liechtenstein visas
Citizens of Syria need a Schengen visa for Liechtenstein. The European Commission publishes a table, in its version of 9 October 2026, of the Schengen States' consulates that process short stay visas and their representation arrangements. According to that table, in Damascus, Liechtenstein is represented by Switzerland.

Verified practical details
You'll need to apply for a visa at a consulate or embassy before travelling. Here are the practical details we've verified:
Fee
€90
The 90 euros are the short-stay Schengen visa fee, set by Article 16 of the Visa Code (Regulation (EC) 810/2009) as amended by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1415, in force since 11 June 2024. The same amount is paid at any Schengen consulate. Children aged 6 to 12 pay 45 euros and those under 6 pay nothing. Travellers entering without a visa pay no fee.
Processing time
Where the trip requires a Schengen visa, the consulate must decide within 15 calendar days of an admissible application being lodged, a period that can be extended to 45 days when the file needs closer examination (Regulation (EC) 810/2009, Art. 23). The application can be lodged no earlier than six months before the trip and, as a rule, no later than 15 days before it (Art. 9).
Required documents
- Passport issued within the previous ten years and valid for at least three months after the planned date of departure from the Schengen area (Regulation (EU) 2016/399, Art. 6(1)(a)). EU and Schengen citizens enter with their national ID card.
- A Schengen visa if your nationality requires one, unless you hold a residence permit or long-stay visa from a Schengen State (Art. 6(1)(b)).
- Accommodation booking or letter of invitation, and a return or onward ticket (Art. 6(1)(c) and Annex I).
- Financial means: about 100 Swiss francs a day if the traveller pays for their own stay, and about 30 for students with a valid student card. Guests staying in a private home can prove them with a guarantee signed by the host, covering up to 30,000 francs of living, accident, illness or return costs.
Health insurance
Mandatory to apply for the Schengen visa: minimum coverage of €30,000, valid across the whole Schengen area and for the entire length of the stay (Regulation (EC) 810/2009, Art. 15).

When travel insurance is mandatory → Travel insurance policies ↓How long you can stay
Schengen rule: no more than 90 days in any 180-day period across the whole area, adding up days in any Schengen State. There are no passport checks on the borders with Switzerland and Austria, but you must carry your passport or ID card. The border with Austria is a customs border, because Liechtenstein is in the Swiss customs union rather than the EU one.
