Nepali citizens planning to travel to Switzerland for business-related purposes such as meetings, conferences, trade fairs, exhibitions, negotiations, or corporate events must apply for a Switzerland Business Visa. This visa is issued as a short-stay Schengen visa, allowing a stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period in Switzerland and other Schengen countries. Applications from Nepal are officially processed through VFS Global, representing the Swiss Embassy, and timely preparation is key to quick approval.

To get your Switzerland Business Visa from Nepal, the first step is to clearly confirm that your travel purpose is strictly business. Paid employment, long-term work, or professional services are not allowed under this visa category and require a separate work permit. Once eligible, applicants must complete the Schengen visa application form, selecting Businessas the purpose of travel. The form should be filled accurately with personal information, passport details, travel dates, and details of the Swiss host company, then printed and signed for submission.

A crucial requirement for a Switzerland Business Visa is an official invitation letter from the Swiss company or organization. This letter must clearly state the purpose of the visit, duration of stay, nature of the business relationship, and who will cover travel and accommodation expenses. Applicants must also submit a cover letter explaining their business objective, travel plan, and strong professional ties to Nepal, which helps demonstrate intent to return after the visit.

Applicants need a valid passport issued within the last 10 years, with at least three months’ validity beyond the return date and a minimum of two blank pages. Two recent passport-size photographs meeting Schengen standards are required. Proof of travel arrangements, including a round-trip flight reservation, and proof of accommodation such as hotel bookings or confirmation from the host company, must be submitted. Financial proof—typically bank statements for the last 3–6 months, salary slips, or company financial documents—is also mandatory.

Another essential requirement is Schengen travel medical insurance with minimum coverage of EUR 30,000, valid for the entire stay and covering medical emergencies and repatriation. Applicants must also provide proof of employment or business ownership in Nepal, such as an employment letter and NOC, business registration, or tax documents, to establish strong ties to Nepal.

Once all documents are prepared, applicants must book an appointment at the VFS Global Visa Application Centre in Nepal. On the appointment date, documents are submitted, biometric data (fingerprints and photograph) are collected, and visa fees are paid. The standard business visa fee is EUR 90 (approximately NPR 14,000) for adults, along with applicable VFS service charges. The normal processing time is around 15 calendar days, though early application is highly recommended.
