Is Swiss Visa not needed for a person holding UK Visa?

Question

I have a valid UK visa (business visit) for 6 months. I have heard that Swiss Visa is not needed for persons holding UK Visa. Is it true? If yes, do I need to have some other documents?

Answer 1

I m not sure but i think you would need a visa. Holders of a valid permanent residence certificate of an EU or EFTA country, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada or the USA and some other countries do not need a visa.

You can consult here:

Embassy of Switzerland, UK

16/18 Montagu Place,

London W1H 2BQ.

Answer 2

no u need to apply for swiss visa

Answer 3

You need visa for Swiss as this is a different country.

Answer 4

You will need a Swiss visa, since a business visa issued by the United Kingdom for a duration of up to six month is not valid in Switzerland, both not being members of the Schengen agreement. If you would hold a permanent residence allowance for the U.K., you would not need a visa for Switzerland.

Detailed procedures to obtain a visa can be found on the website of the Swiss embassy in London, attached as link
