Liechtenstein is a doubly landlocked country situated in Central Europe. It shares borders with Switzerland to the west and south, and Austria to the east and north. Liechtenstein receives a limited number of asylum applications annually. The majority of asylum seekers are subject to the Dublin Regulation, which determines the Member State responsible for examining an asylum application.  

Liechtenstein has established a legal framework for the protection of refugees : the Aliens Act and the Asylum Act govern the asylum procedure and the legal status of refugees. Asylum is granted to individuals who can demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on criteria such as race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Temporary protection may be granted to individuals in need of protection, with the possibility of family reunification. Naturalisation eligibility for refugees or stateless persons is the same as for other foreigners. Asylum seekers are accommodated in private housing or facilities.
