Immigration law
Although Switzerland is not a member of the European Union, it has signed the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons, enabling it to join the Schengen/Dublin area. Under certain conditions, this agreement promotes the free movement of people between member countries. Citizens of countries that are not members of the Schengen/Dublin area, known as third countries, are subject to additional restrictions on obtaining a permit. Switzerland offers a wide range of permits to work or live in the country: short-term residence permits (Permit L), residence permits (Permit B), settlement permits (Permit C), residence permits for gainful employment (Permit Ci), cross-border commuters' permits (Permit G), and more.
