Only one visa needed for both Austria and Switzerland
for the Euro 2008
Soccer football fans will not have to request two
separate visa for the Euro 2008. Austria and Switzerland
have agreed to issue one joint visa for the event..
The visa will be issued by the Austrian embassies only
(not by the Swiss embassies!).
If you live abroad and want to visit an EM game in
Switzerland, the Swiss embassy will send you to the
Austrian embassy. The Austrian embassy will issue a
Schengen visa (valid for Austria and all countries
having signed the Schengen agreement; Switzerland is
expected to sign in November 2008) containing a note
about the Euro 2008.
The Austrian embassy will submit your request to the
Swiss authorities and, if there are no objections on the
Swiss side, add a sticker to your visa, which will allow
you to enter Switzerland during the Euro 2008.
You will find the addresses of all Austrian embassies
and consulates worldwide below.
