Please note that...

the visa application must be submitted to the Swiss Embassy/Consulate covering your place of residence.

a visa application not submitted to the Swiss Embassy/Consulate covering your place of residence may be turned down if the reasons for submission to any other Swiss Embassy/Consulate seem unclear.

you must have sufficient financial resources to cover your cost of living in Switzerland; as a rule, an amount of SFr. 100.- per day is considered sufficient.

the Swiss Embassy/Consulate may demand a declaration of guarantee.

a visa without explicit authorization by the responsible authorities allows only a temporary stay in Switzerland.
