• Answer:

  You are a student visa? Well, it depends on the visa's citizenship whether another visa for Switzerland is needed. A UK visa does not exempt from the Swiss (Schengen) visa requirement since the UK does not participate in the Schengen agreement. You will need to get a Swiss/Schengen visa prior to travel if you are a citizen of Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, Bolivia, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Rep., Chad, China, Colombia, Comoros, Congo, Dem.

Citizen of Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, FYROMacedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia need an e-passport containing a microchip for visa-free travel. The Taiwanese passport must have the national ID number added. Switzerland has outsourced the visa application process to a commercial partner which collects the visa applications and checks them for completeness before they are forwarded to the Swiss authorities for decision. You can apply for the visa up to three month prior to the proposed travel date. Your passport and the UK Entry Clearance must be valid for at least another three months beyond your proposed stay in Switzerland. http://ch.vfsglobal.co.uk/ ..
