🇨🇭 Switzerland to Burundi: visa and entry requirements 🇧🇮

Visa requiredOrdinary passport

Visa required · Visa required before travel; issued-visa validity may be 1–3 months, while the authorised stay is governed by the visa decision · Swiss ordinary-passport holders should obtain a Burundi visit visa through the competent Burundian mission before travel. The official embassy guidance describes issued visas as valid for one to three months and requires a passport valid for at least six months, a photograph, completed form, confirmed flight booking and hotel reservation for tourism. Visa validity is not necessarily the same as the authorised stay, and the source does not publish one standard stay allowance for every issued visa; this rule therefore leaves maximum stay unset and travellers must follow the dates and entries printed on the visa. Multiple-entry requests require justification.
