Law on foreign nationals and permits
Immigration services for private clients
Switzerland is one of the most competitive countries in the world. However, Swiss immigration rules are complex and subject to change. We can help you to navigate the thicket of Swiss work and residence permits.
Our PwC experts have precise knowledge of the rules in force and are in close contact with the competent authorities. Swiss immigration is constantly changing due to legislation and practice – particularly since the referendum in favour of restricting mass immigration to Switzerland. We'll help you keep abreast of and properly deal with permits and employment law matters.
How can PwC help?
Immigration requirements vary for each individual case. For this reason, we first assess the requirements on a case-by-case basis. During this assessment phase, we advise on potential red flags and explore workaround solutions for which the required authorisations can be obtained in a timely and efficient manner.
Once the individual needs are defined, we support with the application of the agreed solutions. Extensive immigration advice on processes and requirements as well as a list of all necessary documents for the permit applications can be provided to you. We can also review different documents in order to advise on any outstanding items and inform about the expected processing times. Furthermore, we can monitor application progress with authorities for you and manage any regular queries or requests raised.
Our support doesn’t only stop here. We also ensure you're always on top of matters by providing regular updates regarding the status of your applications and, if required, also about the general outlines of visa requirements. Additionally, we can advise on mandatory post-arrival registration requirements and make the bridge between our clients and the authorities by ensuring the various immigration documents are safe in the hands of the concerned people.
