Can the holder work locally, run a business or perform other economic activity? What is the family position?

Foreigners who want to pursue gainful activity in Liechtenstein need a permit regardless of the length of stay.

The official source does not state whether a holder of this route can obtain such a permit or the family position.

How long is the status granted, what is required for renewal, what physical-presence obligations matter, and what longer-term residence direction exists?

The authorities decide at their discretion, within the statutory rules and treaties with other countries, on granting residence and settlement, and must take the country's economic interests into account. The official source does not state the normal grant period, the renewal test or physical-presence obligations.
