 Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:45 pm Post subject: Applying for work and residence permits |
 |
|
Switzerland has adopted a dual recruitment system in consequence of the conclusion of bilateral agreements with the
EU (free movement of persons). The agreement on the free
movement of persons entered into force on June 1, 2002.
This means priority for the admission of gainfully employed
people from the EU/EFTA, while at the same time leading
to a nonrestrictive immigration policy for specialized and
qualified personnel from non-EU countries.
Free movement of persons since June 1, 2007, for EU/EFTA
member states (not applicable to the 10 new members). For
further details, please consult our fact sheet on work and
residence permits available on our Web site www.berneinvest.com or by contacting the BEDA and any of its representatives.
n Procedures
The employer has to apply for the work permit for his
employees. Depending on the location of the company’s
headquarters, the application has to be submitted to either
the aliens police of the appropiate city within the Canton of
Berne (Berne, Biel or Thun) or the cantonal immigration and
labor market authorities.
Third-country nationals applications have to be approved
by the federal office for migration. Please reserve about 6 to
8 weeks for these procedures.
