In response to the COVID-19 pandemic there are special rules for people entering Switzerland. Everyone entering Switzerland must present an entry form. If you are not vaccinated or recovered, you must also show proof of a negative test.
To see what rules apply to your own particular situation when entering Switzerland, consult the online Travelcheck.
Everyone entering Switzerland must present a completed entry form (rare exceptions may apply, please refer to art. 3 of the COVID-19 Ordinance on International Passenger Transport). It is important to fill out the electronic entry form on a computer or smartphone at the earliest 48 hours before the travel in order to receive a QR code by email. This code needs to be kept at hand for inspection upon arrival in Switzerland. The controlling authority can impose a fine if the entry form is not completed or if the information provided is false.
