Before you leave, it is recommended that you ask your travel agent, the authorities in your country of destination or their representation (embassy or consulate) in Switzerland about driving on a Swiss licence during your holiday in that country. The authorities in your country of destination may require a translation of your Swiss driving licence in the local language.

Regardless of the length of your stay, if your driver's permit is not issued in French or in English, it is strongly advised that you obtain an international driver's licence.
