    Hi! Besides a passport what other documents do U.S. citizens need to present upon arrival in Switzerland?

    Hi Mmnafletcher,

    The normal entry rules apply to all travelers, as they were before the pandemic: http://www.myswissalps.com/visa.

    For the latest Covid rules lease visit this one and have a look at the first post in that thread: http://www.myswissalps.com/forum/topic/does-the-corona-virus-affect-trips-to-switzerland.

    Take care,

    Ildiko

    Thank you!

    So as U.S. citizens we fall under this category, “non-EU and non-Schengen countries can be asked to show proof of their travel plans in Switzerland. Examples are travel tickets, hotel reservations and cash or credit cards.”, Correct?

    Hi Mmnafletcher,,

    Yes, that’s correct.

    I was just in Switzerland a week ago, from the US, and all we needed were our passports for entry, and then only at the airport. No one asked to see travel plans, And I didn’t need to show any ID, passport or otherwise, in the 10 days we were there, for any reason.
