Switzerland Visa Information

Tourist Stay Options & Entry Rules for Visiting Switzerland

Switzerland, known for its alpine scenery, lakes, and charming towns, operates under Schengen Area regulations for short-term tourism. Many nationalities can enter visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period, allowing easy access for leisure and sightseeing trips.

Travelers who require prior authorization must apply for a Schengen Tourist Visa (Type C) before their trip. This visa permits short visits for tourism, family trips, and other non-work travel. Standard requirements include a valid passport, travel insurance, sufficient funds, accommodation details, and confirmed return travel arrangements.

For longer stays or specialized purposes—such as work, study, research, or family reunification—Switzerland provides several national long-stay visas (Type D) and residence permits. Choosing the correct visa ensures a smooth and compliant stay.
