BUSINESS-IMMIGRATION 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.
Swiss immigration law divides all applicants petitioning for residency status into two categories: citizens of EU
and EFTA (European Free Trade Association) countries, and citizens of countries that are not members of the EU or EFTA.
Citizens of EU and EFTA countries have preferred rights toward obtaining residency status. In the case of a citizen
from a non- EU or EFTA country, the application must be accompanied by a substantiation of the need to hire the
employee and evidence that the position in question cannot be filled by a Swiss citizen or a citizen of an EU or
EFTA country. |
APPLICATION FOR RESIDENCE PERMIT
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 develop your business project in accordance with
requirements of the authorities
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
In order to obtain a permit for you, we will need to demonstrate the economic benefit you bring to the canton. It
will suffice if, in particular, your business project or your activities:
stimulate scientific, industrial, or trade development in the region
involve the introduction of new technologies
create new jobs or help retain existing jobs via new orders for
local companies, etc.
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 three months to process. |
