Important information for the applications of Schengen visa
Due to the current situation, the Swiss government has decided to stop the issuance of Schengen visa until further notice. Therefore, the visa section will remain closed for the issuance of C type Schengen visa for the time being and will resume its operations in coordination with the other Schengen member states.
Applications for national visas for Switzerland (long stay of more than 90 days) are now accepted on appointment only. Inquiries and appointment requests are to be submitted via e-mail to cairo.visa@eda.admin.ch.
General information on current entry restrictions to Switzerland and on the resumption of the issuance of Schengen visa can be found on the webpage of the State Secretary of Migration of Switzerland.
For additional information, do not hesitate to contact the visa section cairo.visa@eda.admin.ch or visit our internet site www.eda.admin.ch/cairo.
