No Schengen type C visa applications are accepted for short-term stays of up to 90 days in the Schengen area for tourism, business or visits. Unfortunately, it is currently not clear when the situation will allow for the issuing of Schengen visas again. As soon as the acceptance of visa applications is possible, it will be published on this website. Please only send an email with detailed information on your situation/request to London.visa@eda.admin.ch for the following cases:
- National visas for a stay of more than 90 days, type D
- Visas for cases of special necessity according to the Ordinance on Measures to Combat the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in International Passenger Transport (see also: FAQ of the State Secretariat for Migration > What constitutes a case of special necessity)
