The Swiss Government has announced increased checks and closure of some border crossings from 12 to 18 June due to the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France. Crossing the border between the Canton of Geneva and France will only be possible at 7 crossing points. Longer waiting times are expected (see’Travel’).

Depending on why you’re travelling and how long you plan to stay, you may require a visa for travel to the Schengen area. Check the European Entry and Exit (EES) and visa rules before you travel. If you’re a dual national of a European country, check whether the EES applies to you and what passport you should enter on. There may be delays at border crossings (see ‘Travel’).

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Switzerland.
