Paperwork for the verification of a future marriage to be celebrated in Switzerland or the civil registration of a marriage already celebrated in Sri Lanka or in the Maldives has to be processed by this embassy.

Please note that two different administrations are concerned in such cases (one for the civil status and the other for the visa process). The procedure lasts at least 2 months but can take up to 6 months for some cases which may need further verification. Meanwhile the Sri Lankan or Maldivian spouse has to wait in Sri Lanka or the Maldives for the authorization of his/her visa for Switzerland.

The lists of all required documents needed from the Sri Lankan or Maldivian citizen can be found on this page, under "Downloads". Documents may be submitted from Monday to Thursday between 08.30 and 11.00 hrs only by prior appointment.
To fix an appointment call +94 11 269 12 20 and press 7 from Monday to Thursday between 08.00 and 10.00 hrs.
