How to work in Switzerland
As there is an agreement on free movement of people between Switzerland and the European Union, Spanish citizens can enter this country with their own national identity document or a valid passport, without the need for a visa. This agreement makes it possible to search for employment and to reside in Switzerland for up to 6 months while looking for work.
During the first three months it is not necessary to have a residence permitalthough, in the event that the job search extends beyond this time, it will be necessary to apply for a temporary residence permit, which can be renewed for up to one year by demonstrating that an active job search is being carried out.
In Switzerland we can find up to four residence permits: L permit (short term), for employment contracts of up to one year, valid for the duration of said contract; Permit B (residence), for indefinite contracts or contracts of at least 12 months, with a validity of 5 years. Its renewal may be limited in the event of prolonged unemployment.
