Do I need a visa for Switzerland?

If you’re a British citizen with a valid passport then you won’t need a visa to travel to Switzerland.

Healthcare in Switzerland

Post-Brexit, neither the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) nor the Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) will work in Switzerland. This means that it’s as important as ever to have travel insurance in place to cover the costs of any unexpected medical treatment or repatriation to the UK. You can find more information about healthcare in Switzerland here.

 If you have pre-existing medical conditions you must declare these before you buy your policy to ensure you’re fully covered.

Can you help if I need medical treatment while in Switzerland?

Yes – all our policies come with access to our 24-hour emergency assistance team, so there will always be someone here to help you if you become ill or are injured while abroad.

If you need emergency medical assistance just give our team a call any time, day or night.
