Re: Schengen Visa
I think Swiss embassy is quick. I applied at Islamabad last year and got in 10 days. There was no rush…only one family…a couple and myself. A Pakistani checked papers…took short interview and asked to come again on the date given on receipt. One important point…they will issue visa for exact travel dates that you mention on application. If you write one week, it will be one week starting from the date as on your flight reservation, unlike UK visa which allows 6 months even if you mention a week or two on application/reservation. So, plan accurately, well in advance and not in hurry. Swiss embassy is under Schengen agreement now and you can apply via Gerry’s/FedEx. It is much more easier.
I m gona apply for Swiss Student Visa in August Insha Allah…but i read at their site that u have to be at the embassy u cant just send ur docs via fedex and they saying it takes 4 6 weeks
