Question

If I have green card, do I need visa to go to Switzerland for one week?

Answer 1

No visa is required for foreigners who have a valid U.S. green card (Permanent Resident Card, form I-551) and a valid national passport for tourism, visits, business or medical treatment for a stay up to 90 days. The passport must be valid at least 3 months after leaving Swiss territory.

Seems like you will be fine!

Enjoy lovely Switzerland...

yes

Answer 3

U.S. Green Card Holders:

No visa is required for foreigners who have a valid U.S. green card (Permanent Resident Card, form I-551) and a valid national passport for tourism, visits, business or medical treatment for a stay up to 90 days. The passport must be valid at least 3 months after leaving Swiss territory.

Please note that the passport stamp "processed for I-551" is not considered a green card and that general visa requirements would apply in that case. The same rule also applies for the "Notice of Action" (Form I-751) and the "Authorization for Parole" (Form I-512).

Visa requirements for Refugees holding a blue Refugee Travel Document or a new green BCIS-issued "Refugee Travel Document" (Form I-571):

Green Card Holders do not require a visa.

A visa will be required in the following cases:

    * work, (a planned stay of more than 8 days)

    * study, visit, tourism (a planned stay of more than 3 months)

Please note: Switzerland does not accept and recognize the white "Permit to Reenter the United States" or the new green BCIS-issued "Permit to Reenter" (Form I-327). If you hold this document, you will need a visa for Switzerland in all cases.

Special visa regulations exist for the following countries:

Afghanistan, Burundi, Eritrea, Iraq, Liberia, Myanmar, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Zimbabwe.

Visa applications must be submitted at least 3 - 4 weeks before departure.
