Thanks to its high quality of life, benefits, and high salaries, Switzerland continues to remain one of the most wanted destinations for job seekers.
While Switzerland has shown that it is open to hiring citizens of other countries, regardless of their field of work and nationality, the authorities point out that not the same rules apply to citizens of EU/EFTA member states working in Switzerland and to those from third countries.
Regarding the salary and other benefits, the authorities stress that everyone is equal in Switzerland, suggesting that depending on the job and the canton, everyone gets paid accordingly and receives other benefits in line with the country’s laws, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
Due to agreements that the EU/EFTA member countries have with one another, citizens of EU/EFTA countries can enter, live, and work in Switzerland without having to undergo extended procedures.
Citizens of EU/EFTA countries can work in Switzerland for up to three months per calendar year without having to obtain a residence permit.
On the other hand, EU/EFTA citizens who receive employment in Switzerland for more than three months must apply for a residence permit from the Swiss commune they are living in before starting work.
When applying for a residence permit, EU/EFTA citizens must submit a valid identity card or passport as well as a confirmation of employment issued by the employer – a work contract.
