Student Visa Support
Visa guidance for students enrolled in a Lindeln Language Club program and travelling to Switzerland.
Which Swiss visa may apply?
The responsible Swiss representation decides which visa is required. In general, a short language course or program of up to 90 days may fall under a Schengen short-stay visa (type C), while a stay of more than 90 days may require a national visa (type D) and cantonal authorisation. The correct route depends on your nationality, country of residence, purpose, and length of stay.

This is a starting checklist, not a guarantee of completeness. The responsible Swiss representation may request additional documents and the requirements can change.
