Switzerland Tourist Visa
If you are going to Switzerland on vacation, you might need to get a tourist visa depending on what country you are from.
Go to my Switzerland visa page for information on other types of visas for Switzerland.
I’ll break everything down for you below about how to go about getting the Switzerland Tourist Visa.
Visa required for U.S. citizens before you go to Switzerland: No.
- For tourist or business purposes, U.S. citizens can enter Switzerland visa-free for up to 90 days (consecutive or combined, within a six-month period).
Visa required for non-U.S. citizens before you go to Switzerland:
- Check this page here to see if you need to get a visa for Switzerland.
- If you’re inside the U.S., click here to find the embassy or consulate that services your State.
- If you’re outside of the U.S.: Click here.
- The official list of required documents is here, but I find all the documents at that site wordy and overly confusing. The easiest-to-understand list is here at the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington D.C.
- The official visa forms are located here.
- If you are not in the United States, check the website of the Consulate or Embassy you found in Step 1 above to confirm what is required for you.
- Visa fees might vary depending on where you apply, so go to the website of the Embassy or Consulate you found in Step 1.
- If you are applying in the U.S., the latest visa fees are listed here.
- Submit your required materials from Step 2 and visa fee from Step 3 to the Embassy or Consulate you found in Step 1.
- Submission instructions will vary from consulate to consulate.
- If you are applying in the United States, check the submission instructions at the website of the embassy or consulate you found in Step 1.
Congratulations! The Embassy or Consulate of Switzerland will give to you your brand new Switzerland visa.
