Work and Residence Permits

In accordance with the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons between Switzerland and the European Union, citizens of EU/EFTA countries have the right to pursue gainful employment and to settle in Switzerland. While full free movement of persons is valid for the citizens of the previous EU 15 countries as well as Malta, Cyprus and all EFTA countries as of 1 June 2007, temporary regulations and allotments exist for the other EU countries (the new Member Countries excepting Malta and Cyprus).
For citizens from non-EU and non-EFTA countries (third category countries), both taking up employment and settlement in Switzerland require a permit.

For more exact information or in case of questions please contact the Migration Bureau Canton Aargau (Migrationsamt des Kantons Aargau) or call us.
