Hi Chris C,

To see what rules apply to your own particular situation when entering Switzerland, you should consult the online Travelcheck. You can find the link in the first post of this thread. As far as I know, if your son is under 18, he is allowed to enter Switzerland without having to show proof of vaccination. However, you might still need to have a verified document just in case. You should confirm this with your embassy ahead of your trip.

Regards,

Anna

Hi Switzerland travelers!

It looks like all countries that are currently still on Switzerland’s ‘high-risk country list’ will be removed from this list by May 2 2022. This would mean that from May 2, normal entry rules apply to all travelers as they were before the pandemic. Proof of vaccination and/or recovery shouldn’t be required anymore.

Source: Switzerland Tourism. Over the coming days and weeks, we’ll keep an eye on further information. We’ll update details in the first post of this thread once we know more.

The gov. website has been update and states: The entry restrictions currently in place will be lifted from 2 May. As of that date, the usual rules for entering Switzerland will apply.

It would actually be nice to see your happy dances, luvmystang and Chris C ;-)! We too are very pleased with these new developments, and we hope that corona-related entry restrictions will no longer be necessary from now on.

Hi,

We will be spending 15 days in Switzerland in July and then flying return from Zurich to Vienna for 7 days. We have a Schengen visa and are fully vaccinated. Is there any travel restrictions/requirements for travel between Switzerland and Austria for non EU travelers?

Thank you

Theresa

Hi Theresa bloc,

If you are travelling to Austria, you should check with the Austrian travel authority about the latest entry requirements for non-EU citizens.

You can find some details here: http://www.oesterreich.gv.at/en/themen/coronavirus_in_oesterreich/pre-travel-clearance.html, but if you need further clarification, you should contact them directly.

Regards,

Anna

Hey everyone! I’ll be visiting Switzerland the 1st week of June. I was wondering if there are new travel updates / restrictions? I hope that there will still be no travel restrictions.

Thanks!

There are no longer any pandemic-related travel restrictions in Switzerland. Normal entry rules apply now 🙂

Hi Anna,

I am sorry this is a little off topic… We are traveling by TGV train from Basel – Paris this June. We are fully vaccinated. Do you know if we need to fill out the Passenger Locator Form to enter France by train?

Thank you.

Hi Thy,

Yes, I think you may still need to fill out a form to enter France.

You can find more information here: http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/en/coming-to-france/

Hi Anna,

Thank you for the link. I went on and check out this link and also contacted SNCF Connect and no Passenger Locator Form required for people entering France by train, but it is required for people entering by air. I just want to share this.

As always, you are a huge help to us to plan our trips. I can’t thank you enough.

Hi Samuelxchang,

No, there are no monkeypox-related travel restrictions. If such measures are announced, we’ll post updates in the forum. At the moment case numbers are low and there’s no problem for traveling. Let’s hope it will stay that way :-)!

We are arriving in Switzerland next and will be proceeding to Venice. Would anybody be able to let know if there are currently any requirements / restrictions for travelling from Switzerland to Venice for Non-EU citizens. Everyone in our group is an Indian Passport holder.

Thanks
