The visa for Switzerland must be obtained in your country of residence. An application can be submitted exceptionally in Germany at any consular office. It takes at least 24 hours to process your request.
The following documents must be submitted personally at the Swiss consular office:

* The visa application fee is Euro 36.00 to be paid in cash. The processing of the visa application begins as soon as the Swiss Representation receives the form "Visa application for Switzerland", duly completed and signed by the applicant together with the required pieces of documentary evidence. Should the visa be informally refused, the application fee will not be refunded.
* for business trips: invitation letter (or fax) from the company in Switzerland
