Where to apply for an airport transit visa?
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.
*Except for:
- visa applications lodged by citizens of of the following countries: State of Eritrea, the Republic of Irak, Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Federal Republic of Somalia
- the issuance of a visa with limited territorial validity (except when linked to art. 25 (3) of the Visa Code)
- visa applications filed by holders of diplomatic, service or special passports
In these cases, please contact the competent Swiss representation.
