SwissInTouch keeps you connected with the authorities in Switzerland and your local Swiss representation.
SwissInTouch – the app for the Swiss community abroad
SwissInTouch is an engaging, modern information and communication platform designed especially for Swiss citizens abroad. The app complements existing channels such as the social media pages of the representations and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), its websites and the FDFA Helpline, which is open year round 24/7 to answer your queries. The advantage of SwissInTouch is that it brings together important topics for the Swiss community in one app. You no longer have to log on to different platforms or consult different communication channels to get the information you need.
Both the Swiss representations abroad and the FDFA's head office in Bern use SwissInTouch to post information about matters of concern and interest to the Swiss community abroad.
SwissInTouch also supports Swiss citizens abroad at various stages in their lives by providing information that is relevant to their situation. It is an easy way to contact your local representation and receive up-to-date information.
The app provides all Swiss citizens abroad with quick and handy access to information from their Swiss representation and the authorities in Switzerland, even when on the move. So you can keep Switzerland in your pocket at all times!
