Relocation to Switzerland
|
Foreigners entering Switzerland with
the intent to pursue gainful activity, need a work and residence permit. Switzerland does not use the term “work
permit” in its traditional sense. The Residence Permit is a combination of both residence and work permits,
entitling the holder to live in a particular Canton and work for a specified employer. Private persons
from foreign countries who invest in Switzerland and wish to manage their business personally, normally are granted such a permit.

Residence Permit Application |
 |
For those considering moving to Switzerland, it is advantageous to bundle the various requests and to discuss them in advance,
in the interest of "bundled solution". We can assist you in elaboration and realization of such
bundled solution:
- to register your own company in one of the low-tax Swiss cantons,
- to prepare a set of documents, necessary for a permit to be granted,
- to submit to the cantonal authorities an application for residence permit for
you and your family, in conjunction with your business project. |
We are in constant contact with the administrative services concerned, and can ensure optimal processing of residence
permit applications at the cantonal and federal levels. If we feel that your case has a good chance of being
accepted, we will submit the application on receipt of your documents. Normally, permits take
around 3 months to process. |

residence in Switzerland. It has almost no restrictions and allows you to buy real
