Switzerland Tourist Visa

For Bangladeshi passport holders · Swiss Confederation

Sticker Visa

Overview

The Standard Short Term "Tourist Visa" is for those applicants who want to visit Switzerland for the purpose of Holidaying. The visitor is only permitted to stay in France for the duration of their planned stay (the visa will be granted for the duration of stay mentioned in the travel plan but no more than 90 days). The applicant must enter and exit the Schengen area within that time limit. During their stay in Switzerland, visitors with a Tourist Visa are not permitted to accept unauthorized employment, attend school, or represent foreign information media.

The applicant must submit all necessary documentation physically in the Switzerland Embassy in order to apply for the visa, after taking an appointment with them. Once the visa application for Switzerland is approved, the applicant will be notified by e-mail. The applicant can then pickup the passport from the Switzerland embassy.

About Switzerland

Open in Google Maps

Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a landlocked country at the confluence of Western, Central and Southern Europe. The country is a federal republic composed of 26 cantons, with federal authorities based in Bern. Switzerland is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. It is geographically divided among the Swiss Plateau, the Alps and the Jura, spanning a total area of 41,285 km2 (15,940 sq mi) and land area of 39,997 km2 (15,443 sq mi). Although the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, the Swiss population of approximately 8.5 million is concentrated mostly on the plateau, where the largest cities and economic centres are, among them Zürich, Geneva, Basel and Lausanne. These cities are home to several offices of international organisations such as the WTO, the WHO, the ILO, the seat of the International Olympic Committee, the headquarters of FIFA, the UN's second-largest office, as well as the main building of the Bank for International Settlements. The main international airports of Switzerland are also located in these cities.
