Grant of Swiss Entry Visas to Delegates
The participants at the Davos Social Impact Global Forum, depending on their nationality, may be required to hold a valid visa for entry into Switzerland.

All participants subject to the visa requirement must therefore submit a full personal application for authorization to enter Switzerland to the competent Swiss representation abroad, sufficiently in advance of their departure (the list of Swiss embassies and consulates is available at www.eda.admin.ch/eda/e/home/emb/addch.html).
When exceptional circumstances so warrant (in particular, where there is no Swiss representation in the country of origin), the Swiss authorities may authorize the delivery of a visa upon arrival in Switzerland, provided that the request is made sufficiently in advance of the departure date.
In order for the Office to support a visa application, the following conditions must be met:
- The first and last names of the person concerned must be included in the official credentials of the delegation submitted to the International Labour Office; it should be noted that only the Government may issue credentials, including for Davos Social Impact Global Forum delegates.
- The request for intervention must reach the Office at least a week before the departure date, indicating the Swiss representation to which the visa application is being made.
- For exceptional requests for a visa to be delivered on arrival, the following information must be provided in addition: First and last name of the person concerned, date of birth, type and number of the passport and dates of its issuance and expiry.
Requests should be sent in writing to: info@dsigf.com
The visa processing time is 20 days, noting that no visas will be processed after 20 August 2026. Organizers will not be held responsible for any failure or delay in visas of exhibitors who fail to present the complete required documents on time.
