Welcome Message

Dear Visitors

Welcome to the website of the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York.

New York is a key gateway to the United States where many take their first steps on the American continent. It is one of the world’s leading economic, financial and cultural centers as well as headquarters for the United Nations, and a spectacular city attracting outstanding personalities and activities from all over the world.

Our task is to represent Switzerland and the interests of Swiss citizens particularly in New York and the American East Coast. In order to strengthen Swiss-American relations, friendship and common understanding, we support business activities of Swiss and American companies and assist in creating joint cultural and social events. We also handle consular issues for 19,000 Swiss citizens.

This site will provide you with data about Switzerland, its economic and political structure and bilateral relations with the United States. You will also find information on cultural activities, studying, working and traveling in both countries.

We invite you to use this portal for an enjoyable journey through the beautiful and diverse country of Switzerland.

Thank you for visiting and your interest in Switzerland.

Ambassador Christoph Bubb
Consul General of Switzerland in New York
