General informationAltitude Climate Currency & Euro Driving Electricity Languages Population Tipping Vaccinations Visas The conditions for entry to Swiss territory vary according to nationality. As soon as you consider going to Switzerland, inform the Swiss representative (i.e. the embassy or consulate) of your country of residence. Generally, a foreigner who enters Swiss territory has to be able to present a valid identity document valid for at least 6 months past then the intended duration of stay. If you need a visa, you should make a request to the Swiss representation of your country of residence as soon as possible (i.e. the Swiss embassy or consulate, but not a honorary consulate) The conditions for obtaining the visa and its supporting documents, varies from country to country, but in general, the traveller has to present a valid passport, a return transport ticket, the justification of his financial means to cover his costs during his stay in Switzerland, or if necessary a certificate of the accommodation. If the traveller intends to participate in an official meeting of an international organization with headquarters in Switzerland, a confirmation from the organization (invitation letter or a fax from the secretariat of the conference) could facilitate obtaining the visa. The requests for visas have to be presented early enough, if possible three to four weeks before the expected travel date. Generally, the visas for Switzerland are issued in 24 or 48 hours, but in certain countries this delay can be more important. The website of the Swiss Department of Foreign Affairs gives you more information: www.eda.admin.ch/eda/e/home. Travellers requiring a Visa to enter Switzerland should ensure that it entitles them to re-enter after having visited nearby countries. A valid passport is essential for excursions to France and Italy; certain nationalities will need to apply for a Visa before they travel to those countries. Geneva Tourism |
