If you want to extend your Switzerland visa, you must contact the immigration authorities of your local canton, also known as the Cantonal Immigration and Labour Market Authorities. However, extensions are rarely granted because applicants are generally not allowed to stay beyond the period originally approved on their visa.
Switzerland visas do not have additional cancellation fees. Visa fees are non-refundable after payment, regardless of withdrawal, rejection, or decision not to use the visa.
After determining the fees, your next step is to apply for the appropriate visa at the designated visa application centre. All applications from India are handled by the Embassy of Switzerland in New Delhi.
Travel medical insurance with a minimum coverage of EUR 30,000 is required for a Schengen visa for Switzerland. International travel insurance not only meets this requirement but also protects you against lost passports, baggage delays, missed flights, and more.
