VISA
You may require a Swiss and/or a French visa if
you have to transit through France when coming to Geneva or if you intend to stay or visit
neighbouring France when attending TELECOM 99 + INTERACTIVE
99. A full list of the countries whose nationals require visas can be found by clicking here.
Visas to enter
Switzerland
Any person entering Switzerland must be able, at
all times, to produce a valid identity document allowing the bearer to cross the border.
If you require an entry visa into Switzerland, you must make the necessary arrangements
well in advance of you departure for Switzerland. You should ensure that your visa is
valid for a sufficient duration and should explicitly request that it be valid for
multiple entry. In order to obtain an entry visa into Switzerland, you should contact the
Swiss Embassy or Swiss Consulate in your own country. Any general enquiries can be
directed to the following office:
Office fédéral des étrangers

Visas to enter France
Since TELECOM 99 + INTERACTIVE
99 will be held in Geneva, some visitors to the Event may need to transit through the
French territory on the way to Geneva, while some may be accommodated in the neighbouring
French region. The latter being the case, you must complete the necessary formalities at a
French Embassy or Consulate prior to arriving in France. You should ensure that the visa
is valid for a sufficient duration and should explicitly request that it be valid for
multiple entry. The Organizer and ORGEXPO cannot be held liable for any
errors or omissions, and recommend that you verify the situation prior to their departure.
If, in order to obtain the visa application, an
invitation letter is requested by the Swiss or French authorities, please contact the TELECOM
Administration and Protocol Section.
