I have a uk student visa for another two years. in dat case do i have to get visa to travel to swiss?

Sidwells answer is wrong!


At present a valid UK Student Visa with multiple entry waives the visa requirement for tourist visits to Switzerland.


This visa waiver will cease to exist when Switzerland starts to operate under the provisions of the Schengen Agreement which is planned to start on 12/13 December 2008.


After that date the requirement of a visa is purely based on your passport. Visa waived countries are all EU countries and Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, USA, Uruguay, Vatican City, and Venezuela.

Q: I am an Indian national and the holder of an American Green Card. Do I require a visa for entry to Switzerland after the entry into force of the Schengen Agreement?


A: Yes. The same also applies for third-country nationals living in the United Kingdom or Ireland.

your UK visa is irrelevant in this situation.





what country is your PASSPORT from?





If it is anywhere outside the EU or USA then yes you will most likely need a visa.
