I have a friend and she wants to come here for a visit. She has an Indian passport but currently she is in UK on a student visa. Do you know if she needs a visa or where can i ask for information?
Thanks

Hi Maria,
As far as I know, she would need a Swiss or a Schengen visa to travel to Switzerland. She can visit the below website to get more informamtion, or for a helpline number in UK.
Hope this helps,

Ur friend needs to apply for a visa to enter Switzerland. England is not part of Shengen & hence the concept of shengen visa doesnot hold good.

It is true that Kenyans (and probably other nationalities) with valid residence/student UK visas could enter Switzerland without having to acquire a swiss visa before Switzerland joined the shengen treaty. However, since 12 December, a shengen visa will be required. Please visit the Swiss Cionsulate in London website for further info.
