Swiss National Day on the 1st of August

Dear Compatriots!

The Swiss National Day on 1 August is approaching and I would like to extend to you my warmest congratulations, also on behalf of the Embassy staff, together with my best wishes of good health.

Although the pandemic situation in the Baltic States has improved significantly compared to last year thanks to the availability of vaccines, Covid-19 is still causing difficulties and obstacles in our daily lives, something which not only affects our projects but also limits our opportunities to visit our home country. As some experts believe that the situation may remain uncertain for some time, I would like to assure you that the Swiss Embassy will continue, as in the past, to provide you with the best possible support, should you need it.

As is tradition, please find below the video to this year's speech by the President of the Swiss Confederation, Mr. Guy Parmelin.

I would also like to invite you to our virtual celebration, which, like last year, will take place online. You will find it here.

Once again, I wish you good health and happiness and sincerely hope - together with the Embassy staff - that we will soon have the opportunity to meet again.

Have a wonderful Swiss National Day!

Warm greetings,

Aldo de Luca

Chargé d'Affaires a.i. of Switzerland

Regional Consular Centre of the Embassy of Switzerland in Sweden renders consular services for the Baltic states

Consular services for Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are handled at the Regional Consular Centre of the Embassy of Switzerland in Stockholm, Sweden. 

Please find the contact information for the Regional Consular Center in the info-box on the right hand side of this webpage. 

Most of the consular services available to the Swiss diaspora in the Baltic countries are available by correspondence, thanks to the well-developed range of services. The consular centre in Stockholm provides the few remaining services that require a personal visit, such as registering biometric data for identity documents.

To minimise the cost to the person concerned, identity documents can be processed at any Swiss representation offering consular services or a cantonal passport office in Switzerland.

In addition, the FDFA has permanently expanded its online support. Please do not hesitate to contact the Consular Directorate's helpline in Bern for more information on +41-800-24-7-365 (available 24 hours every day of the year).
