- CaptainZapp 10y agoThat's because Switzerland isn't part of the Schengen area That's wrong. Since 2008 Switzerland is definitely part of the Schengen area. While the UK is not. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area) So if you fly in from the UK (or any non-Schengen country) you need t show a passport. As is the case in any other Schengen country.
