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.
