Dear fellow Swiss citizens, dear friends of Switzerland,

The team at the Consulate General of Switzerland in Cape Town welcomes you to our website and hopes that this virtual tour will meet your information needs.

Switzerland and Cape Town may be far apart but our bilateral relations are strong and diverse.  South Africa is Switzerland's number one economic partner on the African continent. Switzerland is one of the top 10 investors in the country.

In addition to economic ties, the Consulate General of Switzerland promotes further exchanges and cooperation between Switzerland and our jurisdiction, which includes Western -, Eastern- and Northern Cape, in areas such as science and innovation, education and culture.

The Consulate General provides a full range of consular services to the Swiss community. Visa services to residents within our jurisdiction however are provided by our Embassy in Pretoria. The entire Consulate General team is committed to serving you as our valued customers.

For further information, do not hesitate to contact us directly via email at capetown@eda.admin.ch, my motivated team makes every effort to provide assistance, information and contacts. You can also follow us on social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or X) for upcoming events and projects and to learn more about our activities.
