The great majority of Muslims in Liechtenstein are Sunni, and are predominantly from Turkey, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia.[4] The census reports do not state what proportion of the Muslim population hold Liechtenstein citizenship.

In 2006, the government made a contribution of US$20,000 (25,000 Swiss francs) to the Muslim community.[5]

Since 2001, the government has granted the Muslim community a residency permit for one imam, plus one short-term residency permit for an additional imam during Ramadan.[4] The government follows a policy of routinely granting visas to the imams in exchange for the agreement of both the Turkish Association and the Islamic community to prevent religious diatribes by the imams or the spread of religious extremism.[6]
