Switzerland 3

AdmissionSwitzerland is a member of the Schengen Agreement.There are no border controls between countries that have signed and implemented the treaty - the European Union (with the exception of Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the United Kingdom), Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. There is a Schengen visa is valid for a member in all other countries that have signed and implemented the treaty. But beware: not all Member States have signed the Schengen treaty, and not all members of the Schengen area are part of the European Union.  

This means that there may be local customs controls, but not immigration controls (travel within Schengen, but to / from a non EU country) or you may need to clear immigration, but not the Customs Service (traveling to 'inside the EU, but to / from a non-Schengen).Airports in Europe are thus divided into "Schengen" and "non-Schengen" sections, which effectively act as a "domestic" and "international" sections elsewhere. 

If you are flying out of Europe in a Schengen country and continuing to another, you clear Immigration and Customs in the country first and then proceed to its destination without further verification. Travel between Schengen and non-Schengen member country will result in the normal border controls. Note that, regardless of whether you are traveling within the Schengen area or not, many airlines will still insist on seeing the identity card or passport.The EU and EFTA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland), countries only an identity card or passport for access - in any case they will need a visa for a stay of any length. 

Citizens of countries not belonging to or usually need a passport for entry into a Schengen country and most will need a visa.Only citizens of States not members either of the following does not need a visa for entry into the Schengen area: Albania *, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Bosnia-Herzegovina *, Brazil, Brunei, Canada , Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Monaco, Montenegro *, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Saint Kitts and Nevis, San Marino, Serbia * / **, Seychelles, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan *** (Republic of China), United States, Uruguay, Vatican City, Venezuela, in addition, holders of British National (Overseas), Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR passports.

This visa waiver visitors are not members either can not exceed 90 days in a period of 180 days in the Schengen area as a whole and, in general, can not work during their stay (although some Schengen countries do not allow certain nationalities to work - see below). The counter starts once any country in the Schengen area and is not cleared, leaving a Schengen country to another Schengen country, or vice-versa.  

However, New Zealand citizens are able to stay for more than 90 days if only to visit the Schengen countries in particular - see for an explanation of the Government of New Zealand.If you have a citizen neither members (although we have seen free, unless you like Andorra, Monaco and San Marino), make sure that your passport is stamped when you both inside and outside the Schengen area. Without a stamp, may be treated as an overstayer when you try to leave the Schengen area without an exit stamp, you may be denied access next time you're looking for to enter the Schengen zone as can be deemed to have crossed on your own last visit. If you can not get a passport stamp, make sure you have documents such as boarding passes, tickets and ATM slips that can contribute to the border inspection personnel to convince you to stay legally in the Schengen area to maintain.
