  • Travel Info (Switzerland):

  Switzerland has been a member of the Schengen Area since 12 December 2008. Applicable to all Schengen member states, the Schengen Association Agreement stipulates that short stays may not exceed 90 days in any 180-day period. This agreement is specifically intended to facilitate the travel of tourists, visitors and business travellers for these brief periods of stay. The agreement also stipulates that all Schengen member states shall apply a common visa policy for short stays.

  For the short-term stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period, for nationals of Pakistan a Type C visa is required. Type C visas are valid for the entire Schengen area, which is why they are commonly referred to as Schengen visas. For a stay of more than 90 days, for nationals of Pakistan a Type D visa is required. This is a national visa, issued to people who wish to stay in Switzerland for a longer period. More information on the Type D visa can be found below under (iv).

  Third-country nationals (non-EU/EFTA) need to fulfil the following conditions in order to enter Switzerland for a stay of 90 days in any period of 180 days:

  • they must have a valid C visa (Schengen visa), a valid D visa (national visa) or a valid residence permit issued by a Schengen state (List of residence permits issued by member states).
  • they must hold a recognized travel document valid for at least three months after the intended date of departure from the Schengen area and issued within the previous ten years (the date of issue concerns only entry into the Schengen area);
  • they must explain the purpose and conditions of their stay in Switzerland and/or in the Schengen state(s) they intend to visit;
  • they must have sufficient financial resources to cover the entire duration of the intended stay as well as the return trip to their country of origin or a transit trip to a third country, or they must be able to obtain the necessary financial resources by some other lawful means;
  • they must not be the subject of an alert issued in the Schengen Information System (SIS) for the purposes of refusing entry;
  • they must not pose a threat to Swiss security, public order, public health or the international relations of any of the Schengen states;
  • they must not be subject to a measure banning them from entry or an order for expulsion from Switzerland.
