Travel Essentials
ADD: EAT · GVA: CEST
When it's 6:00 PM in Addis Ababa, it's 5:00 PM in Geneva.
Ethiopian passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Switzerland. Apply at the Swiss embassy in Addis Ababa or through the VFS Global center handling Swiss applications. The short-stay visa (type C) costs EUR 80 and allows up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area. Processing takes 10 to 15 calendar days.
Prepare a completed application form, two passport photos, travel insurance with EUR 30,000 minimum medical coverage, proof of accommodation in Switzerland, return flight booking, and bank statements from the last 3 months. Switzerland has high living costs, so your financial proof should show enough to cover at least CHF 100 per day. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months past your planned Schengen departure and have 2 blank pages.
Switzerland is in the Schengen area but not in the EU. This does not affect the visa. The same Schengen visa works. Swiss border officers may ask more detailed questions about your itinerary and funds than some other Schengen entry points. Have your documents printed and accessible.
