Are you a Swiss citizen living abroad and regularly travelling from a third country to the Schengen area? Are you wondering how the new ETIAS system that will come into effect later this year may affect your future travels? Would you like to spend an extended period in Switzerland as a binational family, or are you even considering returning to Switzerland permanently?
On Tuesday, 16 June 2026, the Consular Directorate of the FDFA, SwissCommunity (OSA) and Soliswiss are co-hosting a free webinar designed to answer the practical questions that matter most to Swiss living outside the Schengen area.
📋 Topics covered:
What is the ETIAS Travel Authorisation System - and does it apply to you?
What dual nationals and their family members need to know
Key practicalities of returning to Switzerland: health insurance, AHV/AVS, taxes, duties and military service
Experts from the FDFA, OSA, Soliswiss and the State Secretariat for Migration will all be on hand to guide you through it.
