IN SWITZERLAND

RESIDENCE AND WORK PERMITS

In Switzerland, there are different types of work permits for European Union nationals and citizens from non-member countries.

An agreement with the European Union on free movement makes it easy to recruit people from a population base that extends beyond the borders of the canton.

European Union

The procedure for recruiting European Union nationals has been simplified. The individual must :

• have an employment contract with a company in Switzerland;
• follow the necessary procedures with the relevant municipality, that is to say :
  • the municipality in which the company is based for cross-border workers ;
  • the municipality of residence for workers who are coming to live in the region.

The procedure for a European Union national to obtain a work permit is explained on the canton’s migration service website. (In French only, please contact us with the form below)

Non-member countries

With regard to non-member countries, work permits are granted to nationals who have specialist skills and whose contribution is essential for the successful development of a business.
Every request is carefully examined. The procedure for non-member nationals to obtain a residence and work permit is explained on the canton’s migration service website. (In French only, please contact us with the form below)
