Switzerland joined the Schengen Zone on 12 December 2008. Holders of a valid Schengen visa no longer need a visa to enter Switzerland if they are travelling as tourists and their stay does not exceed three months in any half year period.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those without a Schengen visa must make suitable arrangements to obtain a visa to enter Swiss territory.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We remind you that the provisions in force concerning entry into the Schengen Zone are very strict. Those people requiring a visa are strongly encouraged to take the necessary steps as soon as possible at the Swiss Consulate or the Diplomatic Mission responsible for the necessary formalities in their country of residence.

It should also be noted that ECPM can in no case intervene in the process of applying for a visa.
