Where to apply for a Schengen visa?

My place of residence My visa application should be submitted to
Kosovo Embassy of Switzerland in Pristina
(see contact form and instruction in the column on the right side)

Biometrics / Personal appearance

If your finger scans have not been collected yet, personal appearance when applying for a Schengen visa is mandatory. If your finger scans were previously collected (within the last 5  years) and a visa with the mention "VIS" has been granted, then you won’t have to give new  finger scans for your next visa application(s) and personal appearance is not mandatory. You will still have to appear in person to give your fingerprints should the previously collected fingerprints prove to be of insufficient quality.

 

Representation agreement

If a State does not have its proper visa section in a country or region, the delivery of a Schengen visa can be delegated to another Schengen State member with an agreement between both countries concerned.

The agreement allows the appointed representation to represent and handle Schengen visa applications within its own competence without consulting the other represented State.

Schengen State represented by Switzerland: Liechtenstein, Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

Citizens, who require a Schengen visa for short stays in any of these countries or in Switzerland, must apply through the Embassy of Switzerland in Pristina.
