Swiss Driver’s License

You can drive in Switzerland using a foreign driver’s license for one year. After this time expires, certain nationalities will need to get a Swiss driver’s license.

Whether your moving to Switzerland or just visiting, the good news is that Switzerland recognizes foreign driver’s licenses. The country allows most people to drive for up to one year using their existing license. However, if you plan on living in Switzerland for more than one year, most nationalities need to exchange their license for a Swiss driver’s license.
