Travelling to Switzerland: official regulations to counter the coronavirus (COVID-19) in international travel

Below are details of the new official Swiss government regulations for entering Switzerland which come into effect on Monday 8 February to help prevent the further spread of COVID-19. This information is not exhaustive. And please remember that it is the traveller’s responsibility to check all travel regulations and immigration provisions and ensure that they have all the valid travel documents required.

The Swiss immigration provisions below apply to travellers arriving in Switzerland by air. When checking in for your flight, please voluntarily present the corresponding documents.

A negative COVID-19 PCR test result
All travellers to Switzerland must be able to present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result that is not more than 72 hours old. The test result can be presented in paper or digital form. This does not apply to children under 12 years of age (no test required).

Passenger locator form
All travellers to Switzerland must register themselves via the swissplf.admin.ch website prior to arrival. Please present the email confirming such registration when you check in for your flight. The seat information can be entered via a link in the confirmation e-mail after check-in.

If you need any further information, please contact the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health directly at https://www.bag.admin.ch

As of 6 July 2020, all travellers entering Switzerland from certain regions must go into quarantine. The FOPH keeps a list of the affected regions and updates this regularly. Rules regarding entry to Swiss territory can be found below:

COVID-19 provisions for travellers flying to Pristina (Kosovo)

Below are details of the immigration provisions that are currently in place in Kosovo in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that this information is not exhaustive. And please bear in mind that the responsibility for checking these immigration provisions and ensuring that you are in possession of the travel documents required rests with you as the traveller.

1. Travellers to Pristina who are Kosovo nationals or hold a Kosovo residence permit may enter the country without needing to present a negative PCR test result. But all travellers entering the country must self-quarantine for seven days immediately after arrival. They must also document when entering the country where this self-quarantine will be spent (e.g. with family or friends or at a hotel).
    
2. Travellers to Pristina who are not Kosovo nationals may only enter the country on presentation of a negative PCR test result. For such travellers arriving from a country on the Red List (such as Switzerland), this test result may not be more than 72 hours old at the time of entry. For accompanying children under seven years of age, no such test result is required.
    
3. Travellers who are in transit through Pristina and will be leaving the country again within three hours – by air or via a land border – are not required to present a negative PCR test result. All such travellers must, however, sign an official declaration regarding their onward travel. Such travellers are also urged to inform themselves fully of the immigration provisions at their onward destination.
