URGENT HELP NEEDED

Hello,

I am a swiss citizen and I am in a particular situation. I am currently abroad (of course carrying my passport) and will land in Geneva on the 24th june at 2:30pm , I need to be in Shanghai for a very important meeting on the 30th june (thus leaving on the 29th).
As I will only be able to go to Bern to apply for a visa on the 25th in the morning and that it takes 4 day to process it, I should have it the 28th but it is a saturday, so I could only have it on monday the 30th.

My questions are such:
1. Is there any way to get an express delivery for it and have it in 3 days or less?
2. Can someone of my family take care of depositing the application and begin the process (although I am currently in possession of the Passport)
3. If none of the previous options are possible, can I be sure to get it Exactly on monday the 30th ? or is it just an approximate delivery

Thank you so much for your help, this trip is very important to me

Best regards

I am afraid not, because from July 5, 2012, the processing time will be 4 working days for the passport holders of many EU countries including Switzerland. Your passport is required for application, so no one would help if you do not deliver your passport to them. You can show your flight ticket as proof that you need it asap, and it is sure that the visa will be ready on Monday for collection. You can also contact the embassy directly for further confirmation.
