Poster: A snowHead
|
I have been told SO many different things about getting to Switzerland this summer. Both my partner and I have been double-jabbed. We can get in. But I have a 15 year old and a 17 year old, neither of whom have been vaccinated. I just can't get clarity on what requirements are applied to them. I would ike to drive from UK to CH (we need to take some DH bikes) but also can fly direct to Geneva Swiss-side if need be...
Anyone?
Many thanks.....

As pointed out above there is an entire thread on it. In short, your kids have to quarantine for 10 days if not vaccinated if you are coming direct from UK because you are coming from a country with a worrying variant. Doesn’t matter how you arrive.
Do post any further info on the relevant thread.

@Skimum1, If they are driving down through France though, they're entering from France not the UK.
I also can't find any clarity in the French and Swiss rules regarding entering from a "low risk" country, but having been in a high risk country previously 6 hours ago, 2 days ago, 5 days ago etc

@pdsguy, theres a clarification in the FAQ that children are required to quarantine from UK. Full details on the other post.

@Gamsbock Got it - thanks.
Do you know about a child going straight from GVA airport to France? Can they Transit?
Do they have to go straight to the French side of the airport or can they drive across city to go to France

You know it makes sense.

It is only possible to enter Switzerland from a high-risk country in order to travel on to another Schengen state for a short stay of up to 90 days if you can prove that you have been vaccinated (see “How can I prove that I am vaccinated?”). Persons under 18 may enter Switzerland if they are travelling with an adult who has been vaccinated.
If I read this correctly it means the u18 could enter CH with a parent in order to go to France....

@pdsguy, I think they can transit, as long as the accompanying parents are vaccinated. See here

@pdsguy, just realised we cross-posted the same link . I think the Swiss won’t care as long as you can demonstrate you’re going straight to France (e.g. with accommodation contract). Btw, I’ve got no idea what the French rules are!

@Gämsbock,
Great minds think alike.
The U18 can go to France no problem so it’s just the challenge of getting into GVA and across the city. Looks possible.

@pdsguy, theres no hotel quarantine etc. in CH so as long as you put the french address in thr app you will be fine. If the parents weren't vaxxed then you wouldn't be allowed in to CH.
