→ Russia visa for Swiss citizens
For travelers from Switzerland eyeing a trip to Russia, an e-visa offers a streamlined entry process, allowing for a maximum stay of 30 days. You can select from four distinct visa types—tourist, business, transit, or other—to match your travel objective. Despite the convenience of an e-visa, it's important to note that direct flights from Swiss cities like Zurich or Geneva to Moscow are currently suspended. Consequently, passengers typically connect through major international hubs, often adding significant travel time and necessitating careful consideration of changing time zones.
