• Processing the application

  The application will be forwarded to the competent cantonal authorities in Switzerland for a decision. The responsible representation can only issue the visa after approval by the competent authorities. The total processing time is approximately 8-12 weeks. This time is an approximation only and may vary considerably depending on the canton responsible and the elements of the application.

  The responsible representation does not provide information during the procedure. Therefore, please contact the cantonal migration authority responsible for your place of residence:
