Important
The Swiss Federal Council decided, that entry into Switzerland is generally prohibited (with only few exceptions ). This means, if you are holding a Schengen visa, you are not allowed to enter Switzerland. If you are holding a valid Swiss National visa type D, you are still allowed to enter.
The visa section now processes visa applications for National visa type D. Until further notice, no Schengen visa applications will be processed and no Schengen visa type C will be issued.
The Swiss Government has decided to temporarily increase the service fee for Visa applications in Visa Application Centers (VAC) of External Service Providers (ESP) due to supplementary expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Health-related measures are issued by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH). For information on such measures, please consult the homepage of the FOPH directly: Recommendations for travelers.

Do I need to go to quarantine when I arrive in Switzerland?
People arriving in Switzerland from certain countries and areas are required to go into quarantine. The list of these countries and areas is regularly updated in line with the epidemiological situation. A negative test result does not exempt you from the mandatory quarantine requirement. The Embassy of Switzerland in New Delhi is not able to provide further information regarding the quarantine. For more information please visit the Federal Office of Public Health FOPH.
