South Korea Consulate General Vaduz

About the honorary consulate in Vaduz

The honorary consulate general represents South Korea in Liechtenstein. According to the list of consular missions published by the Protocol of the Liechtenstein Government (2 April 2026), it is headed by Peter Frick (honorary consul general; the list gives the date 13 January 1997). No opening hours are published; arrange a visit in advance. To do so, call +423 232 20 44.

The office is in Vaduz, the capital, about 81 km from Zurich Airport and about 39 km from the small St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport. Liechtenstein has no airport of its own.

Under Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 (consolidated version of 30 December 2025), citizens of South Korea do not need a visa for short stays in Liechtenstein and the rest of the Schengen area (up to 90 days in any 180-day period; Annex II).

Which Korean office issues passports and visas?

For passports and other formal consular services, Korean citizens should turn to the Korean Embassy in Bern, which is accredited to Liechtenstein.

What can an honorary consul do?

An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by South Korea and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Korean citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
