Important notice
Switzerland aims to join the Schengen visa scheme on 5 December 2008. Therefore all foreign nationals residing in the UK who require a Schengen visa will from that date onwards also require a Schengen visa to enter Switzerland.

In order to ensure that persons affected by these changes can finalise their travel plans in time for the Christmas/New Year holiday season the Swiss Embassy London will be issuing - with immediate effect - Swiss visas valid for Switzerland only as a precautionary measure to persons who:

intend to travel to Switzerland between 5 December 2008 and 5 January 2009
do not already hold a valid Schengen visa
and are travelling to and from Switzerland by air only.
In these cases, it is strongly recommended in your own interests that you apply for a Swiss visa valid for Switzerland only as soon as possible but not later than 30 November 2008.
