A Schengen Visa, which is issued by a consulate or embassy of a Schengen State, holds validity for all 26 States within the Schengen Area, including the European territory of Switzerland, unless explicitly specified otherwise on the visa sticker. Consequently, you do not require an additional visa to enter or stay in the European territory of Switzerland. However, it is imperative that you possess proper documentary evidence to substantiate the purpose of your stay and your financial means of support.
The Schengen Area encompasses the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
Yes, travel insurance is typically a mandatory requirement when applying for a Swiss tourist visa as an Indian citizen. The insurance policy should provide coverage for at least the entire duration of your stay in Switzerland and the entire Schengen Area. It should include coverage for medical expenses, including emergency medical treatment and repatriation, with a minimum coverage amount, typically set at EUR 30,000. It’s essential to ensure that your travel insurance policy meets the specific requirements outlined by the Swiss Embassy or Consulate when applying for your visa.
You are permitted to submit your Schengen visa application up to 90 days in advance of your intended departure date. To ensure a smooth process, we strongly advise applying a minimum of 20 working days before your desired departure date, as some specific travel purposes may require an extended processing time. For instance, the processing period for your Schengen Visa Application typically falls within the range of 5 to 15 working days from the date of your appointment.
