Travelling to Switzerland
Effective May 2, 2022, the Swiss government discontinued its high-risk countries list, meaning that:
- Entry into Switzerland from all countries in the world is possible again as before the pandemic.
- No COVID related entry regulations (e.g. No vaccination, No Passenger Locator Form, No pre-arrival testing) will be enforced by the Swiss government.
- No COVID related measures within Switzerland (e.g. No mask mandate, No Swiss COVID certificate).
- Wearing of masks in public transportation and crowded places is not mandatory but recommended.
- Important: Before traveling, please also refer to your local government for the current travel guidelines that are in place.
For more information you can always visit www.mySwitzerland.com/trade or www.myswitzerland.com/open. For specific enquiries, please feel free to contact our trade team at Switzerland Tourism st_aus@switzerland.com.
In case of uncertainties about the entry regulations, the Travel Check of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health provides information on whether entry is possible or not.

Clean and safe
The Swiss tourism industry had launched a ‘Clean & Safe’ campaign back in 2020. A Switzerland Tourism initiative that is part of its ‘Recovery Plan’, the campaign consists of an information platform and a ‘Clean & Safe’ label, which signifies to guests that the tourism service providers have made a conscious commitment to comply with the protection guidelines.
The campaign aims to strengthen guests’ confidence when travelling around Switzerland, while assuring them that Switzerland is indeed a safe and clean destination. More details and insights into the concrete measures taken can be found on here.
