Dear Visitor,

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

Our mission is to represent, defend and promote the interests of Switzerland and of Swiss citizens in New York and the Northeast United States. In order to strengthen Swiss-American relations, friendship and common understanding we support many projects and events throughout the region and aim at further developing dialogue and exchanges between Swiss and Americans in all fields of life. 
 

Our website has been conceived to give you up to date data on Switzerland, a plurilingual country of 7,5 million located in the heart of Europe, its economic and political structure and bilateral relations with the United States. You will also find information on administrative procedures, current cultural programs, studying, working and travelling in both countries as well as a lot of useful contacts and links.

I invite you to use this portal for an enjoyable journey through beautiful and diverse Switzerland. I hope you enjoy it and welcome your comments and feedback at  nyc.vertretung@eda.admin.ch

Bon voyage

Ambassador François Barras
Consul General of Switzerland in New York
