The tasks of the embassy

Notice from the Embassy of Switzerland in Serbia on work permit / visa scams

The Embassy of Switzerland in Serbia informs you of the existence of fraudulent practices in connection with obtaining work permits and visas for Switzerland. Work permits are applied for directly by the employer in Switzerland, not by the applicant.

The Embassy does not collaborate with agencies. Please note that only the information published on the official Embassy website is valid.

The Embassy assumes no responsibility for information published elsewhere.

Information for nationals of third countries (non-EU/EFTA) travelling to the Schengen area

Since 10 April 2026, the Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully operational. The collection of travellers’ data is now fully implemented at all external border crossing points of the Schengen area. For more information, please consult the official EU website dedicated to the Entry/Exit System (EES).

ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is an electronic travel authorisation required for visa-exempt nationals wishing to travel to 30 European countries for a short stay. It is not a visa, but a pre-travel screening system used to verify travellers’ information before entry. ETIAS is not yet in force; its launch is planned for the last quarter of 2026. For more information, please consult the official EU website dedicated to ETIAS.
