Switzerland Transit Visa

A visa is not required to transit through Switzerland providing that they do not intend to leave the international transit area. In all these cases, you enter the Schengen Area, and, unless you are exempt from short-stay visa requirements, you must apply in advance for an entry and stay visa in order to transit through Switzerland.

Under normal circumstances, for a layover or transfer between two international flights the foreigner can remain in the international transit zone at the airport without any visa.

However, some nationalities are subject to visa requirements, even if they do not leave the international transit zone. Airport transit visas entitle the foreigner only to pass through the international transit area of airports.

• Afghanistan
• Bangladesh
• Congo, Democratic Republic
• Eritrea
• Ethiopia
• Ghana

• Iran
• Iraq
