Cross-border commuters from Austria
Cross-border commuters from Austria can be exempted from compulsory insurance upon application as long as they reside in Austria and can prove that they are entitled to statutory or equivalent health insurance there. This also applies to their non-employed family members.
The application for exemption from compulsory health insurance in Liechtenstein must be completed in full and submitted to the Office of Public Health within three months of the start of compulsory insurance in Liechtenstein. If no application has been received by the Office of Public Health by this time, cross-border commuters from Austria are subject to compulsory health insurance in Liechtenstein. The exemption cannot be revoked except in the event of a change of employer.
