Professions subject to authorizationPractice of a self-employed profession does not fundamentally require previous authorization. Exceptions occur nonetheless, in cases where the safety of people or the environment could be endangered. The Health Ordinance in Canton Aargau and the Swiss Food Legislation contain regulations regarding the authorization requirements for self-employed practice of certain professions (e.g. midwife, optometrist, and druggist). Such activities as operation of a personnel agency or that of door-to-door salesman are also subject to authorization.The following list provides information concerning professions subject to authorization. Further information is available to you from the Bureau for Economy and Employment (AWA). ![berufe_ch_[1].pdf (59.71 KB)](/shared/img/icons_files/pdf_small.gif "berufe_ch_[1].pdf (59.71 KB)"){kind=icon}
Professions subject to authorization (in german only) Work and Residence PermitsIn 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. Building PermitsIn principle all investments in buildings require a permit. Foremost, the local municipal authority is responsible for the building permit procedure, and can issue the necessary permit. For special projects involving for example large investments, non zone-compliant construction or landmark buildings, a cantonal permit is necessary. In such situations your construction project will be reviewed by the cantonal building permits division.As a One-Stop-Shop, Aargau Services accompanies you through the entire permit and construction process. An initial assessment of your construction project can be carried out by Aargau Services. To accelerate decisions, it is expedient to communicate with the correct contact persons and decision makers right from the start. As an One-Stop-Shop, Aargau Services assumes the necessary mediator function. We bring investors face-to-face with contact persons from the municipalities and the Canton, and see your project through. You can find important information on the topic of building permits in the Building Permits Division (Abteilung für Baubewiligungen) within the Department of Construction, Transport and Environment. Your building requires a permit if it affects the neighborhood or the general public (especially in case of danger or disadvantagement). A permit is also needed if different building regulations are valid for the modified building. The building administration of the local municipal authority is responsible for the building permit procedure; the permit is usually issued by the municipality. Should your project require a cantonal permit, the Building Permits Division (Abteilung für Baubewilligungen) reviews your application. This is necessary for example for buildings that stand outside the zoning limits, or if the building is under landmark protection. |
