Visa Requirements
Citizens of most countries do not need a visa to enter Switzerland for short stays (up to 90 days within a 180-day period). However, there are a few countries whose citizens do require a visa. You can check the [Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs website](https://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/en/home/topics/entry-switzerland/visa.html) to see if you need a visa.

This tool will ask you a few questions about your nationality and travel plans, and it will tell you whether you need a visa.
