SWISS STUDENT VISA
Thứ Ba - 16/12/2025
Switzerland is widely recognized for its world-class education system, high living standards, and strong international outlook, making it an attractive destination for students from around the world. To pursue long-term studies in Switzerland, international students are required to obtain a student visa and comply with immigration regulations set by the Swiss authorities.
The visa application process is straightforward but involves several specific requirements, documentation standards, and procedural steps. Understanding these in advance will help applicants prepare a complete and accurate file, increasing the likelihood of a successful visa outcome.
Below are the general guidelines and requirements for applying for a Swiss student visa:
Students must submit their application in person at the Consulate General of Switzerland in Ho Chi Minh City, and may be required to attend an interview:
- Address: Bitexco Financial Tower, 37th Floor, 2 Hai Trieu Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City
- Phone: +84 28 6299 1200 (Please contact the Consulate General directly via this number to schedule an appointment)
- Fax: +84 28 6299 1222
Processing time may take up to 3 months.
At present, the Consulate General waives visa fees (see detail)
Required documents for the Swiss student visa include:
- Three long-stay visa application forms (type D), completed, with photos attached, and signed by the applicant;
- One additional passport-sized photo;
- A passport valid for at least three months beyond the planned date of arrival in Switzerland, with at least two blank pages. The passport will be returned to the applicant on the same day after the file is accepted;

- Certified copies and notarized translations of diplomas and transcripts from the most recently completed academic programs;
- If the program in Switzerland is taught in English: certified copy of valid IELTS certificate;
- For minor applicants:
- Visa application form signed by both parents or legal guardians;

Notes:

- Documents from items 4 to 11 must be submitted with an additional photocopy;
- The Consulate General only accepts complete and valid applications;
- The Consulate General of Switzerland in Ho Chi Minh City and the Swiss Immigration Office may request additional documents or information if necessary;
- Effective from 01/07/2025, the VFS Switzerland appointment booking system requires prepayment of the VFS service fee in order to complete appointment confirmation. If you wish to reschedule or cancel an existing appointment, please do so at least 3 days prior to the scheduled appointment date.
