Visa Information

Since 12 December 2008 Switzerland is an associated member state of the Schengen agreement and hence part of the Schengen area. Foreign nationals who wish to enter Switzerland must in any case be in possession of a valid travel document recognized by the Swiss authorities.

The Swiss Federal Office for Migration provides an information sheet for entry to Switzerland on their website.
