/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.
