If you are planning to fly to the US from one of the Swiss airports, there are some entry regulations you need to know about.
Generally speaking, travel to the United States from Switzerland, Europe, and much of the world has been restricted since March 2020.
However, a number of people still fly to the United States, as they fall under the ‘exemptions’ category which includes American citizens, lawful permanent residents (LPR) of the United States, children or spouses of US citizens or LPRs, as well as foreign government officials and their immediate family members on official business.
