    Hi Yolanda,

    Thank you for your detailed info. of travel visa. I would like to know if immigration staff in airport will check tourists’s travel insurance insured amount. I heard some people in website said that Switzerland goverment will need tourists to have enough travel insurance amount to cover their hospital expenses in case they have accidents or disease and need to stay in hospital.

    Hi Irene2004,

    Quite possibly and most likely they will ask if you are from “other countries”.  If you click on the highlighted word “here” in my first reply, it will take you to the official page with the requirements explained.

    Kind regards,

    Yolanda
