CSH visitors are entirely responsible for checking if they need a visa to travel to Switzerland and, if so, for applying for and obtaining the visa.
We will provide you with an invitation letter for your visa application, if necessary, but we are not responsible for any financial loss (e.g., plane ticket) due to a visa not being issued in time. Please keep all receipts related to travel (plane/train/bus/tram/etc), but not receipts for food as we will reimburse you for this on a per diem basis. The currency of Switzerland is the Swiss franc (CHF). We strongly recommend that you install the eduroam internet access (via your university/institute) before leaving for Switzerland.
