ETH - Rektorat - Brauche ich ein Visum?

Please check first as to whether you require a visa for your study period in Switzerland. Since the conditions for admission to Switzerland can change at any time, the safest option is to consult the website of the Swiss Federal Office for Migration.

Students from EU and EFTA countries

Citizens of the following EU and EFTA countries as well as from Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore do not require a visa:

EU countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden
EFTA countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway

If you are a citizen of one of these countries, please follow the instructions for students who do not require a visa.

Students from all other countries

Citizens of all other countries must apply for a visa in person at the Swiss diplomatic mission (embassy or consulate general) at their place of residence.

As a citizen of a country where a visa is required to enter Switzerland, please follow the instructions for students who require a visa.

IMPORTANT:

Although Switzerland is an associated member of the Schengen/Dublin agreement, a Schengen visa from another state only entitles its holder to enter and travel through Switzerland, but NOT to take up residence. To do so, you need a national "D" visa.
