Resident Permit B

Switzerland issues Residence Permit B for an initial period of five years to citizens of EU/EFTA. This permit is issued for resident foreign nationals who have resided in Switzerland for longer time with or without gainful employment. It is an annual residence permit. The main advantage of this permit is that it gives the individual the right to live in Switzerland for more than 180 days in a year. It also has to be renewed every year.

Citizens of European Union are permitted to work and live in Switzerland, without the need of a Swiss work permit. However, citizens from other countries are required to have a visa towards working in Switzerland. As per the particular work permit, applicants are provided with relevant residence permits in Switzerland. This is done in order to impose annual restrictions on residence and work permits in Switzerland. A residence permit can be secured from Cantonal Migration Office that is responsible for the applicant’s place of residence in Switzerland.
