EU citizens from Western Europe do not need visas: valid passports alone are required. EU citizens from Eastern Europe and non-EU citizens should contact the Swiss Embassy or Consulate about whether entry permits and visas are required. Any costs incurred are borne by the student.

Generally, your studies at the School of Engineering will be permitted on the basis of a student visa. This does not permit you to work in Switzerland. If you are interested in completing a practical traineeship or working in this country, please contact your local IAESTE advisor. However, obtaining permission to work in Switzerland is generally rather complicated.
