None of these fit in a bag. Sort them first and the packing gets easy.
Passport valid past your dates
Liechtenstein wants 3 months left on a passport past April. Check the expiry date now.
Travel insurance
Most home health plans stop at the border. A quote takes two minutes.
eSIM
An eSIM works the moment the phone is switched on in Liechtenstein, with no SIM counter to find.
Copies of your documents
Photograph your passport, cards, and insurance. Email them to yourself. Ten seconds now saves a very bad afternoon.
Download offline maps
Download the offline map before you lose signal.
Highway vignette
Motorways here need a vignette sticker or pass. Buy it before the first toll road, the fines are steep.
