WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Geneva International Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for Switzerland.
Airport WiFi at GVA
Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.
Switzerland isn't in the EU, so EU roaming plans don't cover it here — a Switzerland-specific eSIM (Airalo, Holafly, or a Swisscom/Sunrise partner) is worth having, especially since the free wifi requires its own identity verification.
Swiss law requires ID verification to use the wifi: authenticate by SMS code (free and fastest), by scanning your boarding pass, or in person at the Visitors Centre with an ID document. An SMS-verified code stays valid for 6 months, so return travelers reconnect automatically.
