You and your family can enter and leave Switzerland on production of a valid
identity card or passport. If the members of your family are neither EU nor
Swiss citizens and if a visa requirement applies to their country of origin, a
corresponding entry document, as well as, where appropriate, an extract from
your judicial record, may be required. You must in any case register with your
municipality of residence within eight days of your arrival; the municipality
will forward your documents to the competent cantonal authorities.
You are entitled to stay in Switzerland for six months to seek work. After
signing an employment contract, you can stay in this country and engage in
gainful activity here. In accordance with the general principle of free
movement, you have a right of entry and residence simply on production of an
employment contract, a valid identity document and written confirmation of
engagement by an employer or evidence of self-employed activity.
To engage in gainful activity, you need only produce at the cantonal
employment office the document used to enter Swiss territory (passport or
identity card) and written confirmation of engagement by an employer or a
certificate of employment. If your employment contract is for less than one year
you will be issued with an L EC/EFTA residence permit valid for the duration of
the contract; in all other cases you will receive a B EC/EFTA permit valid for
five years. Residence permits are valid for the entire territory of the host
state (i.e. they allow geographical mobility).
