If you are looking at how to get Code 95 in connection with Liechtenstein, the honest starting point is the country’s size. Liechtenstein is a microstate, and professional heavy-goods and bus driving is, in practice, organised around the much larger system of Switzerland or Austria. Code 95 is the EU’s professional-driver qualification under Directive 2003/59/EC.

The Practical Reality

Liechtenstein is in the EEA but tiny, and its drivers are closely tied to Switzerland and Austria. For drivers who want to work in cross-border or EU road transport, the realistic route is to obtain Code 95 through Switzerland or Austria’s system (the Swiss OACP/CZV or the Austrian Grundqualifikation): qualifying with an accredited training centre there, passing the required exam, and completing 35 hours of periodic training every five years.

What You Will Need

You will generally need a valid driving licence in the relevant category (C, CE, D, or DE), proof of identity and residence, a medical certificate confirming fitness to drive professionally, completed training, and the applicable fees. Confirm the exact requirements with the relevant authority in Switzerland or Austria.

Foreign and Non-EU Drivers

An EU or EEA Driver CPC is recognised across the EU/EEA. A non-EU professional qualification is generally not recognised, so non-EU drivers usually obtain Code 95 from scratch and must also hold the right to work.

Periodic Training and Renewal

Code 95 is valid for five years and is renewed with 35 hours of periodic training before it expires. There is no grace period once it lapses.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Assuming a microstate has its own full Code 95 system — in practice the neighbouring country’s system applies.
• Letting the qualification lapse.
• Overlooking the right-to-work requirement.

Useful Official Sources

• The relevant authority in Switzerland or Austria for Code 95.
• EU Directive 2003/59/EC for the framework.
• Always confirm the latest rules before you enrol.
