International career
Liechtenstein U17
Majer was first called up to the Liechtenstein U17 squad for a match against Georgia U17s in their 2015 UEFA European U17 Championship qualification campaign on 26 October 2014, at the age of only 15, but was an unused substitute.[6] Exactly one year later he made his U17 debut, against the Czech Republic U17s[7] in a 4:0 loss. 5 days later he made his second and final appearance for the Under-17s, in a 3:0 European Under-17 Championship qualifier victory over Gibraltar.[8] He was the captain for both of these games.
Liechtenstein U19
At 16 years old, Majer got his first Under-19 cap in a 2016 European Under-19 Championship qualification match against Netherlands U19s, which ended a 2:0 defeat for Liechtenstein U19s.[9] He would make a total of 7 Under-17 appearances for Liechtenstein, getting his final cap on 14 November 2017 in a 6:0 defeat to North Macedonia U19s[10]
Liechtenstein U21
On 6 September 2016, Majer made his under 21 debut in a 4:0 loss to Israel U21s,[11] at the age of 17. However, Majer would not make another appearance for the U21s until 2 years and a day later, when he played in their 2:1 loss to Wales U21s,[12] as part of the team's 2019 European Under-21 Championship qualification campaign. Majer made 2 appearances for the U21s in 2018, in a 9:0 defeat against Portugal U21s[13] and a 4:0 defeat against Romania U21s.[14]
On 6 June 2019, Majer played for all 90 minutes of Liechtenstein U21s 1:0 victory over Azerbaijan, the first ever win for the U21 side and first time Liechtenstein avoided defeat in any under-21 fixture[15]. This means that Majer is the first and currently only Liechtenstein U21 goalkeeper to have kept a clean sheet[16]

Armando was first called up to the senior national side for two 2018–19 UEFA Nations League D matches against North Macedonia[17] and Armenia[18] in November 2018, and was also called up for the team's first four Euro 2020 qualifying Group J matches,[19][20] but so far is yet to make an appearance for the senior team.
