How this rule was checked
On 11 Oct 2026 we checked this rule against official sources, chiefly EUR-Lex: Agreement between the EC and its Member States and the Swiss Confederation on the free movement of persons, consolidated text 01.01.2021, as part of one check of all 29 countries of the Schengen area. Two independent checks reached the same result.
Before the check, public visa data (as of 17 Feb 2026) said: visa-free. The official source shows: freedom of movement, and that is what this page shows.
