Application procedure for urgent medical purposes (fast-track)

For serious and urgent medical reasons (urgent medical treatment, serious accident, loss in the family, etc.), the appointment schedule and the visa application process can be fast-tracked when applying for a visa to enter Switzerland. To enable the Swiss representation to assess your situation, please contact them and provide the following information:

  • the reasons for the medical emergency or information about the funeral of your close relative.
  • your desired departure date.

The representation will contact you as soon as possible about how to apply for your visa.
