Where to Apply for a Swiss Visa

Applications should be submitted by mail at either a Swiss consulate or embassy or a visa application center that is connected with Switzerland.

In countries without any Swiss consulate, applications may be submitted through a Schengen state consulate representing the interests of a Swiss consulate.

• The approval of a Schengen visa does not guarantee entry upon arrival to Switzerland or other countries in the Schengen area.
• Additional documents pertaining to your financial means or accommodation may still be required to gain entry to Switzerland or other Schengen areas.

For denied Swiss visa applications:

If your application for a Swiss Schengen visa was rejected, you have the right to appeal the decision within 30 days.

The appeal process begins by picking up the standard-issued visa refusal form which also has the details of the reason for the rejection and the procedures of the appeal process.

Appeals should be in writing in either German, French, or Italian and should indicate the justification for submitting the appeal.

The applicant can submit the appeal or appoint someone else to submit the appeal on his behalf.

A non-refundable fee of 200 CHF must be paid for the appeal to be processed.

The appeal and a copy of the refusal should be sent to the following address:

State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) Quellenweg 6 3003 Bern-Wabern

The Administrative court’s decision is deemed final and is not subject to further appeal.

Entering the “Schengen area” in Europe

The Schengen agreement regulates the free movement of people within the Schengen area. The agreement allows easier travel between the Schengen Member States. This means that there are no regular border checks between Schengen States.

However, all travelers (including children and infants) must be able to provide a valid travel document at all times (e.g. passport or ID card). Driving licenses, bank and credit cards or similar documents are not recognized as valid travel documents or proof of identity.

All foreign visitors (non EU nationals) may stay in the Schengen area for a maximum of 90 days from the day of entry (within a 180-day period). A visa might be required depending on the traveler’s nationality and the purpose of visit.

More information can be obtained at any Schengen Member states’ embassy. Detailed information about entry regulations, passport requirements and recent changes in specific countries is also available on the IATA Travel Centre website.

Increased border controls during the European Championship 2024

Due to the European Football Championship, there are currently increased border controls  at German airports. Please allow enough time and make sure you have your travel documents (passport, visa, etc.) with you to present them, if required.

Want to travel to Europe but are not able to get a Schengen visa? Here’s how you can apply

D reaming of exploring the charming streets of Paris, the historic landmarks of Rome, or the picturesque landscapes of Croatia or Switzerland? The allure of Europe’s diverse cultures, rich history, and breathtaking scenery beckons travelers from around the globe. However, for many, the dream of visiting Europe is often dampened by the daunting task of obtaining a Schengen visa.

As the trend of post-Covid “revenge travel ” gains momentum, with travelers eagerly planning international trips, securing a Schengen visa for European destinations has become increasingly challenging, particularly for certain countries.

Croatia, having recently joined the Schengen agreement and emerging as a sought-after destination, exemplifies the growing demand for visas. However, VFS Global, a prominent visa service provider in India , finds itself under scrutiny due to customer dissatisfaction over delays in processing.

Travel agents report instances of applicants resorting to deceit about their intended destinations or navigating through Scandinavian countries to secure appointment slots. However, this tactic is not without risks, as attempting to apply for a visa in a geographically distant country may raise suspicions and lead to rejection.

Despite VFS Global’s clarification that appointment availability and processing timelines are governed by client governments, frustrations persist among travelers and consultants alike. Cyrus Sethna, a visa and immigration consultant, highlights the scarcity of available appointments and the prolonged processing period, citing instances where securing a slot was akin to a miracle.

The situation varies across Schengen countries, with Greece experiencing sporadic visa processing delays and Italy facing a complete lack of appointment slots during the previous summer. Spain, while relatively consistent in visa issuance, currently faces a shortage of available appointments.

The uncertainty and inconvenience surrounding visa applications are prompting travelers to explore alternative destinations in Asia or Africa, where visa requirements are more relaxed. However, the shift away from European travel reflects a broader trend of mounting frustration with visa processes unable to keep pace with increasing travel demands.

The challenges encountered in securing Schengen visas underscore the need for proactive planning and flexibility in travel arrangements. As travelers navigate the evolving landscape of international travel, the importance of adapting to changing visa regulations and exploring diverse destinations becomes increasingly evident.

What is a Schengen visa?

The Schengen visa, a document issued by European countries that are part of the Schengen Area, allows travelers to visit multiple countries within the area with a single visa. While the visa streamlines travel logistics , the application process can be complex and intimidating. But fear not, as there are strategies to navigate the process smoothly and increase your chances of success.

Understand the Requirements: Before diving into the application process, familiarize yourself with the specific requirements of the country you plan to visit. Each Schengen country may have slightly different criteria for visa approval, so it’s essential to research and comply with their guidelines diligently.

Plan Your Itinerary: A well-defined travel itinerary is crucial for your visa application. Outline your intended dates of travel, accommodation details, and a comprehensive list of countries you plan to visit. A coherent itinerary demonstrates your purpose of travel and helps visa authorities assess the legitimacy of your application.

Financial Documentation: One of the key factors in the visa approval process is demonstrating your financial stability. Provide evidence of sufficient funds to cover your travel expenses, including accommodation, transportation, and daily expenses. Bank statements, income certificates, and sponsorship letters, if applicable, can strengthen your case.

Proof of Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is not only a wise investment for your trip but also a mandatory requirement for Schengen visa applications. Ensure your insurance policy meets the minimum coverage stipulated by the Schengen countries, including medical emergencies and repatriation.

Submit Complete and Accurate Documents: Incomplete or inaccurate documentation can lead to delays or rejection of your visa application. Double-check all forms, declarations, and supporting documents to ensure they are filled out correctly and meet the prescribed criteria.

‘The key is to balance hi-tech with high-touch’

Schedule a Visa Appointment: Most Schengen countries require applicants to schedule an appointment at the respective consulate or embassy for visa submission. Plan ahead and book your appointment well in advance to avoid last-minute rush and availability issues.

Attend the Visa Interview: Some countries may require applicants to attend a visa interview as part of the application process. Be prepared to answer questions regarding your travel plans, financial situation, and intentions for visiting Europe. Maintain honesty and clarity in your responses to build credibility with the visa officer.

Seek Professional Assistance if Needed: If you find the visa application process overwhelming or encounter difficulties, consider seeking assistance from reputable visa consultants or travel agencies. Experienced professionals can guide you through the process, offer valuable insights, and increase your chances of a successful outcome.

While obtaining a Schengen visa may seem like a daunting task, thorough preparation, attention to detail, and adherence to guidelines can significantly enhance your prospects of obtaining approval. With careful planning and perseverance, you can soon embark on your European adventure and create unforgettable memories across the continent’s enchanting destinations.

Schengen Visa Fee increased as of 11 June 2024

Every three years, the Commission assesses the need for revising the visa fees and according to the Visa Code can increase them based on a list of “objective criteria”. This includes Euro area annual inflation rate and the average salary of a civil servant in EU countries.

As of 11 June 2024 , the fee for a Schengen visa has raised from EUR 80 to EUR 90 for adults and from EUR 40 to EUR 45 for children aged six to below 12 years. The fee for nationals of Cabo Verde under the corresponding visa facilitation agreement has increased from EUR 60 to EUR 67,50. Visa fees under other visa facilitation agreements remain the same EUR 35. 

The income generated through visa applications will be reinvested into making available more resources, including staff for processing visa applications. This should decrease the waiting time for appointments for a Schengen visa.

Figures published by the European Commission show that the consulates of EU countries and Schengen associated countries received more than 10.3 million applications for short-stay visas in 2023. This is a 37% increase compared to 2022 (7.5 million).

Top 10 Easiest Countries To Get A Schengen Visa In 2024

Understanding the Schengen Area

The name Schengen comes from a town in southeastern Luxembourg, where France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands signed the original Schengen Agreement in 1985.

The 29 countries in Schengen include Germany, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania, and Switzerland.

Individuals possessing Schengen visas (indicated as “valid for Schengen states” in the language of the issuing country) are permitted to stay in the Schengen area for a maximum of 90 days within any 180 days, given that their visa remains valid during their stay. Similarly, this rule applies to holders of the majority of national residence permits and national category D visas issued by specific Schengen states for extended visits exceeding three months. It’s important to note that a distinct visa may be necessary to travel to other EU states that are not part of the Schengen area.

For prospective applicants seeking insights into countries with the highest approval rates for Schengen visas, the following list provides valuable information:

• Switzerland: 10.7%
• Latvia: 11.7%
• Luxembourg: 12.7%
• Lithuania: 12.8%
• Slovakia: 12.9%
• Germany: 14.3%
• Austria: 14.3%
• Greece: 14.7%
• Iceland with only a 2.2 per cent rejection rate

Variance in Visa Rejection Rates

The 2023 Schengen Visa Statistics demonstrate a notable disparity in visa rejection rates across diverse countries. Prospective applicants should bear this in mind while strategising their visa applications, as choosing countries with lower rejection rates can substantially boost the likelihood of a successful application.

Countries with High Visa Denial Rates

In 2024, applicants need to take note of the elevated rejection rates in specific countries. In 2023, Malta recorded a rejection rate of 37.6%, marking it as the country with the highest visa denial rate. Close behind were Estonia, with a rejection rate of 33.1% and Belgium at 26.5%. Sweden and Croatia also reported relatively high rejection rates, reaching 23.1% and 20% respectively. The average rejection rate across all member states in 2023 was 54.2%.

Best Options for Obtaining a Schengen Visa in 2024

Based on current data, Germany is a favourable choice for securing a multiple-entry Schengen visa in 2024. The country’s efficient visa processes and approval rates make it an attractive option for travellers seeking flexibility in their Schengen travels.

Furthermore, recent developments indicate that Germany is introducing new migration measures to facilitate Romania’s full accession to the Schengen area. These measures are expected to streamline the visa process for Romanian citizens and enhance cooperation between the two countries in the context of Schengen membership.

Importance of Selecting the Right Schengen Travel Insurance Policy

Ensuring the selection of an appropriate Schengen travel insurance policy is essential in avoiding visa denials stemming from insurance-related issues. Applicants should prioritise comprehensive coverage that meets the specific requirements of the Schengen area, including sufficient medical coverage and repatriation in case of emergencies. Thoroughly understanding the terms and conditions of the chosen insurance policy is crucial for a successful visa application process.

In addition to the insurance aspect, applicants should remain vigilant about common pitfalls encountered during the visa application process. These may include incomplete documentation, insufficient proof of financial means, or inadequate travel itinerary details. By proactively addressing these potential stumbling blocks, applicants can significantly reduce the risk of visa rejection.

Future Changes in the Visa Application Process

By mid-2025, an estimated 1.4 billion travellers will be mandated to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) before embarking on journeys to the EU. This system aims to enhance security and facilitate smoother entry processes for visitors.

Notably, the EU is actively developing an ETIAS mobile app, set to debut by mid-2025, with the intention of streamlining the application process and providing greater accessibility for travelers.

Furthermore, the countries mentioned have demonstrated commendable approval rates for Schengen visas, presenting potential applicants with advantageous options to consider for their visa applications in 2024.
