When it's 6:00 PM in Edinburgh, it's 7:00 PM in Geneva.
British passport holders enter Switzerland (a Schengen member though not in the EU) visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day rolling period. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date with at least two blank pages. UK passports are stamped on entry and exit.
Border officers can ask for proof of accommodation, return travel, and sufficient funds (Switzerland suggests CHF 100 per day). The 90-day limit is shared across all 29 Schengen states, so days spent in EU Schengen countries count toward the same clock. ETIAS pre-travel authorization (EUR 7, valid 3 years) is expected to become mandatory in late 2026 and will apply to Switzerland.
Direct flights from London to Zurich run about 1 hour 50 minutes, to Geneva about 1 hour 40 minutes. SWISS, British Airways, and easyJet all operate nonstops. Switzerland uses the Swiss franc (CHF), trading at roughly 0.88 CHF per $1. Euros are accepted in many tourist areas and large retailers but change is given in francs. No vaccination requirements for UK arrivals. The UK-Swiss Services Mobility Agreement (2025) provides a framework for business travel beyond 90 days, but tourism stays remain capped at 90/180.
