As the official representation of Switzerland, the Embassy covers all matters concerning diplomatic relations between the two countries. It represents Swiss interests in the areas of political, economic, financial and legal affairs, as well as science, education and culture.
We inform all travellers of Swiss nationality or resident in Switzerland that the Swiss Government has completed its repatriation programme. If you wish to return to Switzerland before the reopening of the Peruvian borders, we advise you to organize your trip independently.
Embassies like the Netherlands Embassy or the Spanish Embassy publish on their websites and social networks eventual news about special flights available with airlines (Iberia, KLM, AirEuropa,...). You can contact these airlines directly.
In case of medical emergency, please contact the Consulate by e-mail lima@eda.admin.ch or by phone.
