Welcome to the Embassy of Switzerland in Singapore
;)
The introduction of the electronically readable Swiss passport with biometric data is scheduled for 1 March 2010. This adjustment to international standards means that you can continue to use your Swiss passport to travel freely around the world and your travel security will be increased. Swiss citizens with a "passport 10" will be able to travel to the USA without a visa.
