Hi Muhammad, Yes, as a Pakistani passport holder, you’ll need to apply for a Schengen visa to visit Switzerland, even if you’ve been living in the UK for 10 years. Your UK residence permit doesn’t exempt you from this requirement. Although your 5-year US visa is a good sign of strong travel history, you’ll still need to go through the standard Schengen visa process. Please note that the Swiss visa cannot be applied for online. You’ll need to book an appointment and apply in person at the nearest Swiss Embassy or Consulate. I recommend contacting the Swiss embassy or consulate to get information on the latest visa requirements. Contact details of the embassy can be found here: https://visa-to-travel.com/embassy-and-consulate/worldwide. Hope that clears things up!
