Transport
Geneva public transportation is excellent and recommended (please note that use of taxis can be quite expensive). Upon arrival at the airport, a public transport ticket is offered to every arriving passenger which is valid for 80 mins and can be used for buses and trains, as well as the boats crossing the lake (les mouettes).
If you are staying at a hotel or a youth hostel, they will offer you the "Geneva Transport Card" that allows you to use public transport in Geneva free of charge during your stay. For additional information on public transport in Geneva, see the guide on the Geneva Airport website.
Visas
Visas for foreign nationals can be issued by the Swiss representation covering their place of residence. Please visit the Federal Department for Foreign Affairs (FDFA) webpage for detailed information on visa requirements for entry into Switzerland.
