Weather and Seasonal Variations: The country’s mountainous regions can experience drastic weather changes, especially in winter. Snow and rapidly shifting conditions may impact outdoor shoots and require contingency plans.

Permit Applications and Local Regulations: Filming permits are generally processed through the Swiss Film Institute. While the process is simpler than in some countries, each canton has its own regulations, which require thorough research to ensure compliance.

Environmental and Labor Regulations: Switzerland has stringent rules regarding environmental protection and labor standards. Special care must be taken when filming in protected natural areas or public spaces, as these locations require additional permits and adherence to local laws.

Our company has an extensive network across Switzerland and offers one-stop support for everything from complex filming permit applications to assistance with language, legal matters, and cultural aspects.

Entry Permit Assistance

Switzerland is part of the Schengen Area, and Japanese passport holders can stay visa-free for up to 90 days if the passport is valid for at least three months beyond the planned departure date. If you have a history of staying in other Schengen countries, different conditions may apply. For any travel-related concerns about filming in Switzerland, feel free to consult our production manager for detailed guidance.

Filming Permit Applications

To film in Switzerland, permission from the Swiss Film Institute is required. Filming must be coordinated through a local registered coordinator who submits the necessary documentation on your behalf. If you are looking for local production support, we can assist you with this process and provide comprehensive guidance for permit applications and related concerns.

We offer professional interpreters and translators as well as specialists in local practices to support every aspect of your shoot.
