Tourist Visa To Switzerland

[Toxane]

Can anyone recommend me a good Visa office in the Pattaya area to assist me with the required formalities for a tourist visa (6-7 days) to Switzerland (I'm Swiss, she's Thai)? TIA

When looking for a visa for China the wife used a travel agent office in front of Center Condo (can't remember the office name) that was the cheapest in the area (South Rd.).

Can't say if they'll be able to assist for a Switzerland visa but might be worth a try if nobody can come up with a confirmed agent.

Sorry but why would you need an agent? I did my wifes and mother in laws Tourist visas for Switzerland without any problems, really easy if you follow the guidelines, and saves a lot of money.

There is a Swiss place in Bangkok that can help you, it is in the shopping centre attached to Phloenchit BTS, on the same road that leads to the Swiss Embassy.

Totally agree.

I done a 3 month tourist visa for my wife to come to Belgium, same visa as the swiss visa. Very easy, compaired to the uk. Give it a try.
