After checking the package, the Agent will schedule an appointment at the Swiss Embassy Visa Department.

Stap 3: On the appointed day, the Student, Agent and an Academy representative meet at the entrance of the Embassy Visa Department building. The visa officer of the Swiss Embassy checks the completeness of the submitted documents, puts a stamp on the student’s foreign passport certifying the submission of documents for the visa and returns the foreign passport to the student (all other originals of the documents are also returned).
Step 4: The Swiss Embassy Visa Department may contact the Student (by e-mail or telephone) and request additional documents, which must be communicated to the Academy representative immediately. Also by e-mail you will receive a notification that your visa is ready, after which you will have to come to the visa department of the Embassy of Switzerland with the foreign passport at the time specified in the e-mail.
