    LIECHTENSTEIN

    Replacement of the information published in OJ C 247, 13.10.2006

    The national practices concerning reference amounts required for the crossing of the external border fixed by national authorities are:

     

    A third country national who bears the costs for his/her stay in Liechtenstein personally has to prove that he/she disposes of around CHF 100 a day. A student (owning a valid student ID) has to dispose of around CHF 30 a day.

     

    A third country national who lives at a private residence may prove the necessary means with a formal undertaking (‘Verpflichtungserklärung’) that is signed by the host in Liechtenstein. The responsible authority (Migration and Passport Office) gives a statement about the financial solvency of the host. The formal undertaking contains the not covered costs at the expense of the community or private health care providers during the stay of the third country national; i.e. the costs for living, accident, illness or return costs, in the sense of the acceptance of an irrevocable liability of CHF 30 000. Guarantor may be:

    —

    every Swiss or Liechtenstein citizen of full age, who resides in one of these two countries, as well as

    —

    a person of full age in possession of a residence permit (‘Aufenthaltsbewilligung’), or

    —

    a valid permanent residency (‘Niederlassungsbewilligung’), or

    —

    a legal entity that is registered in the commercial register.

    ROMANIA

    Replacement of the information published in OJ C 247, 13.10.2006
