## Before you go to Switzerland

To enter Switzerland there are 7 things to sort out before you leave, starting with “Valid Spanish ID card (DNI) or passport”: they are all, with their deadlines, in [the Switzerland checklist](https://kokai.app/en/paises/europa/suiza/#antes-de-salir). Currency: Swiss franc (CHF); plugs: Type J · 230 V · 50 Hz (the European type C fits; the three-pin Schuko doesn't); emergencies: 112 · 117 police · 144 ambulance · 1414 air rescue (Rega).

In [Kokai](https://kokai.app/en/) you tick off the checklist inside your trip, and each item reminds you when it is time to do it.
