A Switzerland short-stay Schengen visa allows entry into Switzerland as well as free travel across all Schengen countries for tourism, business, leisure, or visiting family.

Applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the travel date, along with a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID. Required documents include return flight tickets, hotel bookings or an invitation letter from a host in Switzerland, recent bank statements for the last three to six months, and travel medical insurance covering €30,000. A completed Schengen visa application form, biometric passport-sized photographs, and proof of employment, sponsorship, or business ownership are also required. Additional documents may be requested depending on travel purpose.
📝 A Smooth and Professional Application Journey
The process begins by gathering all required documents according to Schengen guidelines. Once the file is ready, applicants must book an appointment at the Switzerland Visa Application Centre (VFS Global) in the UAE. During the appointment, documents are submitted, biometrics are collected, and any clarifications requested by the embassy are addressed. The embassy reviews your application based on financial stability, travel purpose, and eligibility. Upon approval, your passport is returned with the visa affixed, allowing travel to Switzerland and other Schengen countries.
⏳ Processing Time & Visa Validity
Switzerland visa applications from the UAE usually take 10 to 15 working days, though processing may vary during peak travel seasons. Approved visas allow stays of up to 90 days within 180 days, with single-entry or multiple-entry options depending on documentation and travel history.
