A Swiss passport

Visa requirements for Swiss citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Switzerland. In 2014, Swiss citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 170 countries and territories, ranking the Swiss passport 5th in the world (tied with New Zealand and Singapore) according to the Visa Restrictions Index.[1] Although the country is not a member of the EU, its citizens have minimal restrictions when visiting other EU states, as highlighted in the following sections.
