What should I do if my Switzerland visa application is denied as an Indian citizen?

In case your Switzerland visa application is rejected, you have the option to appeal the decision. To do so, you should send an appeal letter to the consulate that declined your visa within 15 days of receiving the refusal notice. Teleport recommends reapplying for a visa addressing all reasons for rejection instead of making an appeal
