Important notice
If you do not hold an EU or EFTA passport, nor already have the right to work in Switzerland, Swiss migration rules mean you must be aged under 36 at the time of volunteering and not have previously had a volunteer visa for Switzerland. This now includes UK passport holders. If you are selected for a volunteer programme and need a visa, Our Chalet will apply for this on your behalf. There are limited exceptions to this rule, such as for our service programme events (Ready Steady Go), please contact us if you have questions.
