Switzerland restricts the issuance of visas to holders of Russian passports

Ordinary and diplomatic passports, return certificates, seaman’s identity cards and residence permits for stateless persons issued by the Russian Federation are also not recognized.

The Swiss Federal Council introduced restrictions that people from the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine and Georgia cannot obtain a Schengen visa and cross the Schengen border with passports issued by the Russian authorities. This was reported by schengenvisainfo.com.

Ordinary and diplomatic passports, return certificates, seaman’s identification cards and residence permits for stateless persons issued by the Russian authorities are also not recognized.

The decision was made on 16 August.

As for Ukraine, depending on the region, different issue dates are set, after which documents are no longer accepted.

As for Georgia, all Russian travel documents issued to residents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia after August 26, 2008 will not be accepted for obtaining a Schengen visa.

However, the country will continue to issue visas for certain purposes, including for humanitarian reasons, to people from the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine and Georgia.

As you know, the decision not to accept Russian documents issued in the Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine or separatist territories in Georgia was made by the Council of the EU in December 2022. Then immediately some countries decided not to accept travel documents issued in the Russian Federation.

Recall that Switzerland joined the 11th package of EU sanctions against Russia.

Earlier it was reported that Switzerland has begun to freeze the investment accounts of Russians and Belarusians.
