HOW TO MOVE TO SWITZERLAND?
Relocation to Switzerland. To live legally, an immigrant must first obtain a residence permit. It comes in two types:
Permit B. You can obtain this type by registering your own company. Depending on which canton the company will be located in, the entrepreneur will have to pay tax from 100,000 to 1.5 million francs. Initially, such a residence permit is issued for a period of 1 year; subject to the successful operation of the company and the integrity of the investor, it is renewed every year.
Permit C. After 10 years of residence under Permit B, it becomes possible to apply for Permit C - a long-term residence permit, issued for 10 years. Holders of this type are actually equivalent to Swiss citizens.
After 12 years of continuous legal residence, a foreigner can apply for citizenship.
If you are married to a citizen of a country, you can apply for citizenship after 5 years of continuous residence.
You can also immigrate from Russia to Switzerland through a special educational program. Of course, education is not cheap and a future student needs to confirm knowledge of the state language, but there are three of them in the country, and each university determines it independently.
It is called “a paradise for wealthy retirees”, as many older people seek to settle in the quiet mountainous country. There are various immigration programs carried out at the state level, as well as in the cantons and communes. Excellent ecology and high-quality medicine have increased the average life expectancy to 82 years.
Specialists of the rarest professions and a high level of specialization can count on immigration on a work visa.
If you have the right to stay Permit B, you can purchase a property for yourself or for family members with an area of no more than 3000 sq. m. m.
If you are a Permit C category holder, you can, like native residents, purchase real estate freely.
