Switzerland is home to a large number of international organizations, such as the International Labour Organization, International Red Cross, Universal Postal Union, the World Intellectual Property Organization, UNHCR, WHO, and WTO.

Investors and entrepreneurs, as well as persons of independent means, will normally find it easy to obtain a residence permit.

Swiss Residence Permit with by-Investment

There are different types of residence categories in Switzerland, and a distinction is made between EU or European Free Trade Association (EFTA) citizens and non-EU or non-EFTA nationals. EU or EFTA nationals can obtain a residence permit without difficulty if they have an employment agreement with a Swiss employer, if they become self-employed in Switzerland, or, if no gainful occupation in Switzerland is intended, they can prove that they are financially  independent with sufficient income or wealth to cover their living costs.
