Current Travel and Safety Information for Switzerland

On June 25, 2026, the travel and safety advisories for Switzerland were updated. This information is particularly important for travelers who are planning a trip to Switzerland or are already there.

The crime rate in Switzerland is generally low. However, petty crime such as pickpocketing occasionally occurs in crowded places like train stations and on public transportation. Travelers should therefore keep a close eye on their valuables and preferably use cashless payment methods.

It is recommended that you keep important documents, such as identification cards and driver’s licenses, in a safe place and make electronic copies of them. This makes it easier to obtain replacement documents in the event of loss or theft.

Travelers should also familiarize themselves with the current entry requirements, as these may change due to security or health measures. We are happy to assist you with your visa application and ensure that all required documents are submitted correctly.

In case of emergencies or unforeseen events, we recommend registering with the crisis preparedness list and using the “Sicher Reisen” app to stay up to date with the latest information.
