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.
