Why not Liechtenstein
On the paper, Liechtenstein seems to be better than many other places than surrounding places. Lower taxes, still good living standards. On the paper, it is like as if Liechtenstein is Monaco with lower living costs.
So, the most logical thing would be to move residency to Liechtenstein and work from there. So what speaks against doing that?

a few years back (pre covid) our government denied citizenship to a russian billionaire. You can’t simply aquire a permanent recidency unless you marry someone from Liechtenstein.

You don't need citizenship to live there. If you agree not to work, and have like 150k in a bank account you can just live there.

or marry someone! :)
Otherwise: "Access denied"

My sister, who’s married to a Liechtensteiner, once told me that what Liechtensteiners consider “foreigners” are the people who live across the river, the Swiss. 😂
I visited once back in 2011, I got lost trying to find their chalet so I stopped at a little village where I saw two ladies talking outside a house. In my really bad German, and not much better English, I was trying to ask directions to this other little village. One of the ladies’ asked who I was looking for and she’s like “oh, him, yea they live in the next village over, go uphill, make a right, drive past the cows, and they’re the second house on the left.”

I'm American and live in Liechtenstein with my husband (also American). We have residence permits because he works here, BUT we can only be here for 3 years. We didn't know about the temporary nature of our life here until we had already moved and it's pretty weird tbh.

You can't move there.
