Before booking your journey to Switzerland, review the latest safety, entry, and visa requirements from official government sources. Guidance is updated regularly and can change at short notice. Kuwaiti citizens should also verify citizen-specific guidance through Kuwait MOFA before departure.

KAPICO recommends verifying current travel conditions with official sources. Our specialist team can also advise on visas, health requirements, and local conditions during your consultation.

A welcome from Switzerland

Grüezi

Grew-tseeGod greet you

Cowbells across an alpine meadow, cog railways into cloud.

Switzerland is precision made scenic — punctual trains climbing to glaciers, chalet villages where every geranium is placed with intent. The mountains do the talking.

Why Switzerland
In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace — and produced what? The cuckoo clock. But also the most sublime mountains man has ever climbed.
Mark Twain
American author, A Tramp Abroad
