As Travel.ru notes, this announcement is not yet official. Nevertheless, according to Natalya Sizova, the necessary documentation is already ready. 'The switch to the Schengen visa will take place. As of today, the date for the transition is set for December 6,' she said.
'Switzerland's entry into the Schengen Zone will significantly increase the flow of tourists. First of all, low-budget tourists and tourists with a multi-visa will travel to the country more actively. Tour operators will be able to set up new programs for this destination,' the representative of the tourism office is confident.
It is worth noting that the date of Switzerland's accession to Schengen has been announced several times before and has also changed several times. For example, in January, at a meeting of foreign ministers of 27 EU countries, a document was signed on the European Union's consent to Switzerland's accession to the Schengen Zone. The tentative date was set for November 1, 2008.
