Turkey
Quarantine is not mandatory for Indian travellers, provided they are able to show proof of a full vaccination report. To meet this criteria, individuals will need to show proof of being inoculated with both doses of COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved by WHO, with at least 14 days passed since the last dose. The new travel rule had been set in motion from September 4 as per the Turkish Embassy in New Delhi.

Switzerland
Fully vaccinated Indian travellers, who have taken both the shots of Covishield, can visit Switzerland without undergoing RT-PCR test. Fully vaccinated Indian travellers will also not be required to undergo quarantine upon arrival. However, since there is no direct flight between both the countries currently, you will need to fly via Amsterdam or Paris.
