All persons entering Switzerland must fill out and present the completed Passenger Location Form (PLF). It is important to fill out the electronic entry form on a computer or smartphone at the earliest 48 hours before the travel in order to receive a QR code by email. This code needs to be kept at hand for inspection upon arrival in Switzerland. The controlling authority can impose a fine if the entry form is not completed or if the information provided is false.

Rare exceptions may apply: please refer to art. 3 of the COVID-19 Ordinance on International Passenger Transport.

A second rule is important for Albanian citizens: those who are not vaccinated must prove that the reason for entry is a special necessity and that it meets the criteria for a hardship case. It is important to note that the border control authority decides whether the requirement for a special necessity have been met.

Albanian citizens can enter Switzerland if they can prove that they have been vaccinated with an approved vaccine.
