 Most foreign nationals require a permit to work in Switzerland, and the procedure for obtaining a permit depends on your nationality and type of employment1

For employment longer than 3 months, you must apply for a residence permit from the Swiss commune in which you are living before starting work. You will be have to submit the following documents:

  • a valid identity card or passport
  • confirmation of employment from your employer or a certificate of employment (e.g. an employment contract).

The residence permit is valid throughout Switzerland and allows you to change your job or employer. Its period of validity depends on the length of your employment.
