VISA APPLICATIONS FOR THE CAUX FORUM 2026

Invitation to a Visa Information and Guidance Session (Zoom) for Caux Forum 2026 participants 

Do you need a visa for your participation at the Caux Forum 2026?

We understand that applying for a visa can feel daunting, and that the possibility of rejection, along with the emotional, administrative, and financial costs involved, may create hesitation. Your concerns are valid, and we want to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin this process. At the same time, we warmly encourage you to proceed: many participants from around the world successfully obtain visas each year, and starting early significantly increases your chances.  Your presence in Caux matters, and we hope these challenges will not prevent you from taking this important step toward joining the Caux Forum next summer.

As you prepare for your journey to Caux, we warmly invite you to join a dedicated Visa Information & Guidance Session on Zoom. This meeting is designed to support you in understanding the visa process for travelling to Switzerland and to help you prepare your application as effectively as possible.

  • Thursday 11 December 2025 - session 1 at 9:00 CET and session 2 at 18:00 CET
  • Wednesday 14 January 2026 - session 3 at 9:00 CET and session 4 at 18:00 CET

Visa Applications for your Stay in Caux

Visa processes can vary significantly from one country to another, and during peak periods appointment times may be limited. We strongly encourage you to:

  • Start your visa process as early as possible (ideally 3 months before your trip to Switzerland)
  • Check your passport validity (must be valid for at least 6 months beyond travel)
  • Book embassy appointments immediately once they open
  • Use the information from the Visa Information & Guidance Session to prepare your documents well in advance

Beginning early is the best way to avoid last-minute challenges and ensure that nothing prevents you from joining this important gathering in Caux.

To ensure clarity, we wish to outline what this session can and cannot address:

✔️ What we can offer

  • General guidance on the Swiss visa procedure
  • Information on the documents participants must prepare
  • Caux Foundation confirmation letters for registered participants
  • Advice on timing and recommended steps
  • An open Q&A on visa-related topics

 

❌ What we cannot offer

  • Individual legal advice or case-specific immigration counselling
  • Influence on embassy/consulate decisions (all decisions are made solely by Swiss authorities)
  • Guarantee of visa approval

Each participant is responsible for submitting their own visa application and ensuring that all required documents are complete, accurate, and submitted in time.

We look forward to seeing you in Caux this summer!
