International students
If you do not live in Switzerland you should find out about Swiss entry formalities and the required permits as soon as possible.
Entry and visas
If you need a visa, approach the Swiss representation (embassy or consulate general) in your home country. Please note that after submitting your application it will take 6 to 12 weeks before your visa is issued.
Some embassies require proof of the school fees paid. If this applies to you, you can print out our Download letter regarding tuition fees (PDF, 90 KB) and enclose it.
See International students for useful general information for all students interested in studying at ETH Zurich. If you have any questions please refer them to the School for Continuing Education only.
