Beware of visa scams
Please be aware that visa scams exist. Fraudulent companies offer websites that claim to offer assistance in obtaining a visa and charge a fee for providing information.
Only the Embassy's website is authoritative, and only the Embassy has the authority to decide whether to issue a visa. The Embassy provides you with free visa application forms and informs on procedures without any charges.
The fees for a Swiss visa are paid in cash only at the counter of the Embassy and the visa applicant must appear in person.
