Information for visa applications

Citizens of some countries are required to obtain a visa in order to enter and spend any time in Switzerland. The visa must be obtained from the office (embassy or consulate) representing Switzerland in your country or, if there is no such office in your country, from the one that is closest to the country of departure. Visa processing and approval may take some time, it is therefore suggested to check directly with the appropriate representation and apply early.

Note: The issuance of the visa is at the discretion of the host country. ITU has no influence on this decision.
