Short-stay visa (C) — tourism & visiting：인도 → 스위스
Indian citizens need a Schengen short-stay visa for Switzerland — apply at the Switzerland visa application centre and give biometrics.
Uniform Schengen short-stay visa for tourism or visiting, applied for through Switzerland as the main destination.
- 유효 기간
- The consulate decides how long it lasts. A first or occasional visa usually just covers your trip; the more you travel (with a clean record), the longer a multiple-entry visa you can get — up to 5 years (the EU visa cascade).
- 입국 횟수
- Single, double or multiple entry — shown on the visa as 1, 2 or MULT
- 1회 최대 체류 기간
- Up to 90 days in any 180-day period — this cap applies even with a 5-year visa
준비 시작 시기
출발일 30일–6개월 전에 준비를 시작하십시오.
Apply to Switzerland only if it is your main destination (longest stay).
Submit at least 15 days before travel and no earlier than 6 months beforehand. The Swiss New Delhi centre is the world's busiest Schengen consulate — apply as early as possible.
The Schengen visa fee is €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6–12; a separate VFS service fee applies.
Biometrics and document submission are at VFS Global centres across India (Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, Mumbai and more). Book and attend in person.
Standard processing is about 15 days, extendable to up to 45 days if a closer look or extra documents are needed.
After a decision, collect your passport from the visa application centre.
