Last Covid travel rules to fall

All remaining Covid restrictions on people entering the country will end in just over a week’s time.

There are still limits for travellers from outside the Schengen Zone and most of Europe – some countries remain on an ‘at risk’ list. 

Not everyone is free to enter Switzerland from those countries at the moment. But even so, there are exceptions – such as nationals or residents or those who have been vaccinated. 

Yesterday, the State Secretariat for Migration sent a Tweet announcing all the remaining entry rules will be scrapped from Monday May 2nd.
