Switzerland has opened its borders to tourists from Ukraine. To enter, one will have to present a negative coronavirus test, a certificate of being sick with COVID-19 in the past, or complete a full course of vaccination. Italy has also opened, but tourists will have to self-isolate for five days.

In general, almost all EU and Schengen countries have opened up for tourism. In particular, tourists can visit the Balkan countries.

Vacation in Switzerland

To enter Switzerland, one must have:

  • a certificate of a complete course of vaccination with one of the drugs approved in the EU and WHO. From the date of administration of the last dose, at least 14 days must pass, but not more than one year;
  • negative result of the PCR test done a maximum of 72 hours before entry;
  • negative rapid antigen test result done maximum 48 hours before entry;
  • confirmation that the tourist has been ill with COVID-19 within the last 6 months.

If there are no such certificates, then you will have to self-isolate for 10 days.

Also, those who travel to Switzerland by plane should fill out an online entry form in advance.
