Work Permit Quota for Assignees from EU/EFTA
-
- L Permits: 3’000
- B Permits: 500
Work Permit Quota for non-EU/EFTA Nationals
-
- L Permits: 4’000
- B Permits: 4’500
These numbers are the same as they were for 2019, thus the current level of granted quota is deemed to be an adequate response to the economy’s requirement for specialists.
Brexit
In accordance with the ‘Mind the Gap’ strategy to mitigate direct and averse consequences to a possible no-deal Brexit the Swiss Council has decided on separate quotas for UK nationals who move to Switzerland based on employment:
Work Permit Quota for UK Nationals based on Employment in the event of a no-deal Brexit:
-
- L Permits: 1’400

If the UK leaves the EU with a negotiated withdrawal agreement, the free movement agreement will continue to apply during the agreed transitional period between Switzerland and the UK.
