  • The currency used in Switzerland is the Swiss Franc (CHF).
  • A foreign national who wants to enter and reside in the territory of Switzerland must be able to attest to having at least 100 CHF or 92.34 euros to spend each day of their stay in Switzerland.
  • Travelers backpacking through Switzerland should budget at least 70-108 CHF (60-100 euros) per day.
