Armenian citizens can travel to Switzerland with Schengen visa from December 12December 11, 2008 - 16:22 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Starting 12th December 2008, the Swiss-EU Schengen cooperation becomes operational. This means that Switzerland will start issuing Schengen visas. The Swiss Schengen visa will not only allow travel to Switzerland but also in the whole Schengen area. Conversely, Armenian passport holders with a valid Schengen visa issued by other Schengen States will also be able to enter Switzerland without an additional Swiss visa. This is the result of the bilateral Schengen-agreement signed in October 2004 between Switzerland and the European Union. This new development will facilitate travel in Europe for Armenian passport holders, the press office of the Swiss Embassy in Tbilisi reported.
