Destination
Schengen Switzerland — Schengen by treaty, not in the EU.
Switzerland is a Schengen member through its EFTA agreement. Short-stay uses the Schengen Type C via VFS Switzerland in Delhi and Mumbai. Long-stay categories use cantonal authorities — each canton handles its own student and family permits.
