UK passport holders will be refused entry into Switzerland from 1st January 2020 as citizens lose freedom of movement rights. This has been confirmed to me in writing from the Swiss authorities this morning.

Switzerland currently refuses entry from countries that they have designated as being “high risk”. But EU/EFTA/UK citizens have enjoyed an exemption under the freedom-of-movement that membership of the EU provides.

This comes to an end on 1st January. Furthermore, Swiss authorities confirm that when UK citizens are allowed to travel, that they cannot fast-track through EU channels but must use “other countries” lanes
