Switzerland Entry Requirements

* A passport or travel document. Valid for at least three more months beyond your planned date of exit from Schengen, and issued within the last 10 years.
* A visa – if you are subject to the Swiss visa regime.
Aside from these documents, the Swiss border officer may ask you a few questions about your trip to Switzerland like:
* What is your purpose of visiting Switzerland?
* How long do you intend to stay in Switzerland?
* Where are you going to stay in Switzerland? Etc.
