to obtain a visa URGENT matter

Do you have a resident permit for living in Switzerland? If has, what type is it?

In general, if you have B, C or L type resident, you can apply in the Chinese consulate in Bern according to your address. Otherwise, you cannot apply in this country.

For the documents, you need to ask your friend to issue you an invitation letter, so that you can use the letter, your resident permit, your valid passport, an application form with a recent taken photo to apply.

Applying in Italy requires a residence certificate or Italian ID Card. If you do not have either of them, you need to apply it in Switzerland.

If so, you can apply in Italy through the nearby CVASC. The Chinese embassy in Italian does not accept application directly.
