VISAS Attention is drawn to the strict provisions in force regarding entry into Switzerland – those not having the required visa will be refused entry.

A visa support letter signed by one of the recognized WHO/HQ signatories is now required. Furthermore, WHO has been advised that the visa procedure will be more rigorous and may take up to 21 days. Before requesting a visa support letter, participants are advised to contact their nearest Swiss embassy or consulate to determine whether or not they require a visa. Member States requiring the assistance of WHO to obtain a Swiss Schengen visa are kindly invited to send an email with the following information: the last name, first name, title, institution, date and place of birth, passport number, expiry date, date and place of issuance and attach a copy of the credential containing the composition of the delegation to [email protected] at the earliest in order that action can be taken as soon as possible.
