Only short-term visa applications (up to 90 days, Schengen visa) such as tourist, visit or business can be submitted online. A visa application can be submitted at the earliest six months before entering the Schengen area.

Applications for long-term visas (over 90 days, National visa) must be filed directly with the responsible Swiss representation.

Depending on the Swiss representation, appointments can be made for both, Schengen and National visas.

Scheduling an appointment is free of charge.

Before starting the application process, please consult the website of the responsible Swiss representation to determine if there is a waiting period to obtain an appointment.

Depending on your place of residence, you can submit your visa application either:

directly at a Swiss representation abroad;

by filling out the visa application online;

at an external visa service provider;

at the representation of another Schengen State.
