Due to the war in Ukraine, the Embassy premises in Kyiv are temporarily closed. Visa applications shall be submitted to the Embassy of Switzerland in Bucharest who is currently competent for issuing visas.

Please contact the Regional Consular Centre South East Europe in Bucharest.

Protection status S for refugees from war

Switzerland helps persons in need of protection who have fled Ukraine - with protection status S (no quota).

All questions regarding protection status S can be found on the website of the SEM Swiss Migration Secretariat (also in Ukrainian).

We would like to point out that the information that refugees with protection status S receive a monthly payment of CHF 1,600 in Switzerland is a false report. Switzerland treats persons in need of protection similarly to other Schengen countries.
