Due to the visa restrictions in connection with COVID-19, Switzerland suspended the representation agreements with other Schengen states on 18 March 2020. They are currently still suspended. Following the Federal Council's decision of 23 June on entry facilitation, the FDFA is now sounding out with the other Schengen states at what point in time, at which location and under which modalities visa applications for travel to the Member State represented by Switzerland can be submitted again. At the present time, we are unfortunately unable to make any predictions as to when this will be possible again.
