You don't need a visa to visit Switzerland for up to 90 days within a six months period. Holders of long-stay visa (type D) or residence permits of one Schengen country can travel to all other countries of the Schengen agreement. Both France and Switzerland are Schengen members. The following type of French residence permits qualify for visiting Switzerland. - Carte de séjour temporaire comportant une mention particulière qui varie selon le motif du séjour autorisé (Temporary residence permit bearing specific wording which varies according to the reasons for the authorised stay); - Carte de séjour portant la mention "compétences et talents" (Residence permit bearing the words ''skills and expertise''); - Carte de séjour portant la mention "retraité" (Residence permit bearing the word ''retired''); - Carte de résident (Resident's card); - Carte de résident portant la mention "résident de longue durée-CE" (Resident's card bearing the words ''long-term EC resident''); - Carte de résident délivrée aux ressortissants andorrans (Resident's card issued to Andorran nationals); - Certificat de résidence d'Algérien (Residence certificate for Algerian nationals); - Carte de séjour délivrée aux membres de famille (les membres de famille peuvent être des ressortissants de pays tiers) des citoyens de l'Union européenne, des ressortissants des États parties à l'Espace économique européen et des ressortissants suisses (Residence permit issued to family members (family members can also be third-country nationals) of citizens of the EU and nationals of the EEA/Switzerland); - Autorisation provisoire de séjour portant la mention "volontariat associatif" (Temporary authorisation to stay bearing the words ''Voluntary community service''); - Autorisation provisoire de séjour portant la mention "étudiant en recherche d’emploi" (Temporary authorisation to stay bearing the words ''Student looking for employment''); - Autorisation provisoire de séjour portant la mention "parent accompagnant d’un mineur étranger malade" (Temporary authorisation to stay bearing the words ''Parent accompanying sick alien who is a minor''); - Autorisation provisoire de séjour ne portant pas de mention spécifique (Temporary autorisation to stay bearing no specific wording); - Récépissés de renouvellement de demande de titre de séjour, accompagnés du titre de séjour périmé (Receipt for a renewed application for a resident permit, together with the expired residence permit). The internal borders between Schengen countries are open, no governmental immigration controls will be performed on flights or when crossing the land border between the two countries. Although Switzerland is a Schengen member it does not participate in the European Economic Area (Customs Union), hence controls by customs officers may still be performed on entry.
