People should not underestimate the work permit issue. If you are not from EU/EFTA, the chances of getting a job while applying from outside of Switzerland is very very slim. Only large MNCs and international companies know how to do the admin because they of course handle internal transfers from time to time, but smaller companies just could not be bothered, so they won't even respond to your application, plus there are millions of people from the EU that would want that job and move to Switzerland too (In Europe, Switzerland has one of the lowest income tax rates and highest salaries). If your spouse has a permit, then this is one of the huge benefits of Switzerland, i.e., the other half gets a permit automatically too. I can't think of many countries that does this. But most important of all, congratulations - you've cracked it! Especially for pointing out that you do have to invest in networking, language, etc. There is a huge expat community in Switzerland (20% of Zurich population are not Swiss), and they tend to stay in their expat bubble and don't even bother to learn the local language. Whatever country you are in, try to blend in, integrate yourself, join the local sports club, etc. It helps! Getting a job is possible, but it is a big job to get a job!
Thank you: you’re completely right, had it not been for the Swiss policy that allows spouses to get the same permit due to family reunification I would very likely not have been able to work in Switzerland and for that I’m very thankful! Because like u said it is SUCH a major curveball for non-efta citizens to get the permit. There’s already a huge supply of job seekers alone in EU; companies wouldn’t be bothered to do all the admin and legal stuffs just to hire you.
I do agree with this comment except with the part that a lot of EU residents want to live in Switzerland, I know literally zero people who are trying to do that and I live in Europe😅
@@peregrina5208 well, according to latest govt. stats, almost 20% of the population of Switzerland are from the EU/EFTA. Also when I am hiring, more than half the applicants are from the EU. Maybe you don't know anyone because they have all moved to Switzerland 😁😄
Excellent presentation I, Canadian, have been in Switzerland for 30 years now and it started with one opportunity and then continued with connections Switzerland is now my home, never leaving
In the middle of getting my Swiss citizenship (I'm in the US) and will beginning looking for work in order to move back. This has been tremendously helpful. Since you offered, I will definitely reach out with some lingering questions. Merci!
Sometimes throwing in unsolicited applications might be helpful to finding a job. Certainly, being aware of job posts from companies in different platforms such as LinkedIn and Glassdoor is still imperative, but sometimes writing them and expressing your desire with an eloquent motivational letter could be an alternative approach! For all my student jobs and internships in Germany, this is the approach that got me the job or at least an interview opportunity. There was once that I even tried to reach the HR in a call, but the department director answered me and gave me an offer instead! Certainly student jobs / internships can differ from full-time jobs, but I think it is worth to give it a try! :D
After got the chance to live and work in Basel for 1 month for a project. I do really enjoy the minimalistic life there. It's been 3 years since and still finding a way to get a long-term job in Switzerland.
Thank you Olivia! I am loving your channel, my sister lives in Switzerland (she is married to a Swiss) and now has cancer, I moved to Europe to be closer to her and support her whenever she needs. Maybe you can try to some research on how to get a student visa if you are not European? This will be a really interesting topic🥰
Thank you, Olivia. I am also a third country, permanent resident in Switzerland living in Basel. As you know, it is not easy. One small addition. Basel does not seem to be on your radar. Novartis and Roche both HQ'd in Basel are respectively the 5th and 6th largest pharma companies in the world. Roche and Novartis are respectively the #1 and #2 largest companies in Switzerland by market capitalization; #7 and #9 by revenue in Switzerland. Syngenta also based in Basel is the 20th largest corporation in Switzerland. Basel is the bio-tech center of Switzerland with many other smaller companies.
@@Xisbrezatsgzormd My wife worked for Novartis USA and persuaded her manager to move the position to Basel in 2017. It was very difficult at that time. I think it is near impossible now-at Novartis. Other international companies-looking at you Google-might be more open to moving positions. To move a position to Switzerland is difficult. The company has to demonstrate that the worker has critical skills. Below a certain seniority, the job must first be advertised to Swiss workers and then EU workers. See, not easy.
Hi, i'm a non-EU citizen. My wife too, is a non-EU citizen. I don't mind doing any jobs. How do I get a work permit and find a job to begin my life there?
@@hk254lyt8 Thanks, I actually passed knowledge-wise, got all the qualifications to actually perform, but they required me to have the Züri-Deutsch for the position, so I didn't get the job in the end... 🙁
Thank you very much for the video I currently live in Trinidad and Tobago and was really trying to get some information about getting a work permit. It's really hard to know where to start
Thank you for your amazing videos! I am interested to know in what field you studied, I mean what is your qualification and briefly what it is about. As a French highschooler, living and working in Switzerland seems really exciting. Have a nice day :)
I did political science for my bachelors and MBA after. I’m currently in a completely different field doing instructional design and e-learning development (usually under a company’s learning and development department). Good luck with ur studies!
15:59 It's very interesting that your friend couldn't find a job in Switzerland with a PhD. Is it because she was only applying for PhD-level jobs (e.g. university positions) and didn't want to do a job for which she would be overqualified (at least in the sense of her highest level of education)? I can understand if she was only applying for professorships or research positions in the industry and her PhD from her home country was viewed a bit skeptically. Would it be possible for you to share her research area / targeted industry or home country? Did she do her master's in Switzerland in the same field as her PhD or a new one?
16:32 what about a bachelor degree can you retake it or take it for the first time (as someone who doesn't have it)and 1-what are the requirements 2-can you work and study at the same time or do they stop working until they finish?
Hi Olivia, I just moved here with my husband. Also an Asian working within the E Learning sector. I haven’t been able to find a comprehensive list of Educational orgs so if you have any insights on this then I’d be super grateful :)
Hi Olivia! Thank for the video! 😊 Just only one question: how and where did you searched for a startup jobs? Looks like all that I saw until now have no jobs available. Thank you!
Hi Olivia, your videos are so informative and this particular video is really amazing. I want you to make a video about the 'ALBINEN' relocation program. Can you do that for me please
Hello Olivia, thanks for your videos. They are very helpful. My family and I would be moving to Lausanne soon and we are looking for info on which area to rent and where are the good public schools located? I know it's perhaps a long shot but in case you know any of any good forums/ websites /FB groups where I can find more such info, would really appreciate if you could share them 😊
I did at Alliance Française for about two months, but I would not recommend as the pace is really too slow ( I did it twice a week after work). It is more effective for you to take an intensive course once you arrive.
In a way this is similar to Singapore practice when they want to employ foreigner .Is that correct ? Like they need to have quota for each company and also need to advertise in career future at least 14 days ? Im in Singapore and looking for opportunity outside Asia .
The job market in Switzerland is REALLY exhausted. I work in IT and I have a Master degree from the local University but it was really difficult to find a good job! I come from exUSSR Country and have a working permit due to my husband who is Swiss. The advice here is simple: if you are a qualified worker (Engineer, Researcher, Scientist and so on) you might have a chance even as a 3rd country member. If you are not a qualified worker, be ready to accept smth that you would not accept in your country. There are so many people from EU countries (Portugal, Spain, now Ukraine) that do « nonqualified » jobs, that Switzerland has already enough. Just put yourself on a place of an employer who receives 100 CV per day and ask, how am I better then smb else? Good luck 🍀
Hi olivia🙌, great information. I want to ask you a few things to be able to work in Switzerland, I plan to go to Switzerland after finishing high school, I have talent in software development, and I plan to work there after graduating from high school, as well as take college there, as an Malaysian who is so close to Singapore I think we have a lot in common so maybe seeing you adaptable there convinced me to do the same, do you think maybe I went there after graduating from high school? Do I have to finish college to work there?
This is very helpful Olivia, thanks a lottt!! Im also planning to move there fr SG. May I know how did you manage to move your things from SG to Switzerland? Any courier recommendations?
I had a container for shipping. Don’t recall the company by now but i remembered it took ages for our stuffs to come so I wouldn’t recommend it! I heard Crown relocation is a good one though
Hello Olivia, like you said, if a person married to someone with B permit will automatically get B permit. Is the going to be same case for student coming on Visa D, gets B permit in few weeks, can a student's spouse get B permit automatically? In my case, I am coming on Visa D, student long term visa, I will get B permit in few weeks once I start living in Geneva. Can my wife come on permit B after that? If you have any information related to spouse of non-eu student visa, please let me know. Appreciate your efforts, thank you.
hi sister i hope you are doing well. i am working in Singapore as Traffic Light Maintenance Technician 14 years. can you share more about how do i get job there in Switzerland
Hi Olivia! I chanced upon ur video. Thank you for sharing your experiences. M going through that process atm specifically for Züri. Through ur story, it gives lots of encouragement. Will keep working on it! :)
Hello, dear Olivia, could you please tell me what are the 5 or 10 characteristics that one should consider when choosing a canton? Aiming to get residency and in the future a Swiss passport for a doctor And among these German-speaking cantons, which one is suitable for an Iranian to at least enter there? For example, the components that I know myself; Lower taxes, easier to give B residence, and easier to convert to C residence and cheaper food and health care available... Consider that I have a Blue Card and permanent residence in Germany and registered as a MD., my first goal is to get C residence in Switzerland. And my final goal is, the Swiss red passport, and living in Swiss. Thanks Here's a subjective ranking from perceived easy to hard about cantons, which l knew them: Appenzell Innerrhoden: This canton is often considered to have a straightforward naturalization process, especially if you have lived there for a long time and integrated into the local community. Appenzell Ausserrhoden: Similar to its sister canton, Appenzell Ausserrhoden is also known for having a relatively straightforward naturalization process compared to larger cantons. Schwyz: Schwyz is known to have a relatively straightforward naturalization process for those who have been living there for a substantial period and meet the integration requirements. Glarus: Glarus is another canton with a naturalization process that is perceived to be less complex than some larger cantons. Uri: Uri is a smaller canton, and naturalization procedures may be more straightforward compared to larger urban cantons. Obwalden: Obwalden, being a smaller canton, may have a simpler naturalization process compared to larger ones. Nidwalden: Nidwalden is also known for having a relatively straightforward naturalization process for eligible applicants. Appenzell: Both Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden are considered to have simple processes, but some sources suggest Innerrhoden might be slightly easier. Basel-Stadt: Basel-Stadt may have a straightforward process, especially for long-term residents who have integrated well. Schaffhausen: Schaffhausen is known to have reasonable naturalization procedures compared to some larger cantons. Thurgau: Thurgau's naturalization process is generally considered manageable. Fribourg (Freiburg): Fribourg's naturalization process might have some specific requirements, but it's generally regarded as reasonable. Solothurn: Solothurn's naturalization process is perceived to be somewhat more involved compared to some smaller cantons. Basel-Landschaft: Basel-Landschaft may have a slightly more complex process compared to Basel-Stadt. Aargau: Aargau's naturalization process might involve more requirements compared to some smaller cantons. Zug: Zug's naturalization process may have more requirements compared to some smaller cantons. St. Gallen: St. Gallen may have a somewhat more involved naturalization process compared to smaller cantons. Bern (Berne): As one of the larger cantons, Bern's naturalization process might involve more documentation and requirements. Zürich (Zurich): As one of the largest and most populous cantons, Zurich's naturalization process may have more requirements and take longer to complete compared to smaller cantons. Graubünden (Grisons): Graubünden's naturalization process can be more complex due to its unique multilingual character and additional requirements for language proficiency.
Hello Olivia! How are you doing dear? I changed your video, Thank you so much for sharing your experience and am looking for some help please My husband lives in Switzerland (lazern)and am planning to move there soon 🔜 from Canada My I know how could I manage to get a job there Any courier recommendations please Am a professional banking advisor here in Canada Thank you in advance for your help and advice
The cost of living is at least 2 times higher in Switzerland. 4500CHF might sound a lot, but it is really just enough for you to minimally get by. You can watch my latest video breaking down my monthly expenses for better understanding.
Hi Olivia .I want to pursue a master's degree in computer science in Switzerland. How much money is enough in your opinion for two years as a student? And what is the chance of finding a job in switzerland as a noun eu person? Thanks
as mentioned in the video it is very hard for a non eu person to find a job in Switzerland due to the already saturated job market comprising locals or EU citizens. You have to prove to have exceptional skills or in sectors like pharmaceutical or IT for the company to be willing to jump through legal and administrative hoops to get the permit for you
hi olivia! i have been watching your videos. my family is also from a non-EU country. my husband has been hired as a senior researcher in one of the universities in Switzerland. i just want to know. did you move there together with your husband or did you go there on a different date? if in case you moved at the same time, did the employer of your husband process your visa or do you have to apply it in the swiss embassy of Singapore? and how long did you have to wait for your visa once the work authorization of your husband has been received? Thank you for answering my questions. confused wife here. we want to move to Switzerland together along with our two kids. thank you.
Hi: Singapore and Switzerland have bilateral agreements and there was no need for a visa. What we needed was the B permit and once my husband got it, I had it immediately as well. I moved the same day as my husband. I did not. Apply anything at the swiss embasssy.
Idk, that sounds pretty impossible for a non-EU resident (US citizen). Do any companies ever offer jobs to these people, especially jobs that aren’t easily transferrable like IT? Seems pretty farfetched to expect and like it’s set up to deny these people. Basically, non-EU residents without family or a spouse in the country have no hope of moving to somewhere like Switzerland unless they’re on the ins with some high-level executive in the country who’s willing to bend over backward to help with their visa?
I am Indian married to Portuguese. I am working and living in France near Geneva . My husband is working in Geneva . He has swiss contract . But we are living in France . Is it possible to get job for me in swiss ? Do we need to move and stay in swiss or if possible to get job then do I need to apply for the border crossing permit? Please help me
It really depends on which canton u are staying. If in cities like Zurich Lucerne or basel, then German is the language to learn. However if in cities like Geneva and Lausanne, u have to speak french
hi Olivia, how to apply in Switzerland, just want to ask if they open now a contract for domestic helper?, baby sitter, cleaner, or age care? thank you for you vdeo
Hi, unfortunately no. U need to get the permit first before you can work. I explained in the video how the permit process works esp for non-EFTA members. And usually it is difficult.
People should not underestimate the work permit issue. If you are not from EU/EFTA, the chances of getting a job while applying from outside of Switzerland is very very slim. Only large MNCs and international companies know how to do the admin because they of course handle internal transfers from time to time, but smaller companies just could not be bothered, so they won't even respond to your application, plus there are millions of people from the EU that would want that job and move to Switzerland too (In Europe, Switzerland has one of the lowest income tax rates and highest salaries).

I don’t have experience studying in Europe and getting a visa so I’m not the best person to advise on this!
You should apply at the local university, be admitted and then you ask for your permit B (without the right to work).

Do they have travel agency that accepting applicants for switzerland?
Hello, dear Olivia, could you please tell me what are the 5 or 10 characteristics that one should consider when choosing a canton? Aiming to get residency and in the future a Swiss passport for a doctor
And among these German-speaking cantons, which one is suitable for an Iranian to at least enter there?
For example, the components that I know myself; Lower taxes, easier to give B residence, and easier to convert to C residence and cheaper food and health care available... Consider that I have a Blue Card and permanent residence in Germany and registered as a MD., my first goal is to get C residence in Switzerland. And my final goal is, the Swiss red passport, and living in Swiss.
Thanks
Here's a subjective ranking from perceived easy to hard about cantons, which l knew them:
Appenzell Innerrhoden: This canton is often considered to have a straightforward naturalization process, especially if you have lived there for a long time and integrated into the local community.
Appenzell Ausserrhoden: Similar to its sister canton, Appenzell Ausserrhoden is also known for having a relatively straightforward naturalization process compared to larger cantons.
Schwyz: Schwyz is known to have a relatively straightforward naturalization process for those who have been living there for a substantial period and meet the integration requirements.
Glarus: Glarus is another canton with a naturalization process that is perceived to be less complex than some larger cantons.
Uri: Uri is a smaller canton, and naturalization procedures may be more straightforward compared to larger urban cantons.
Obwalden: Obwalden, being a smaller canton, may have a simpler naturalization process compared to larger ones.
Nidwalden: Nidwalden is also known for having a relatively straightforward naturalization process for eligible applicants.
Appenzell: Both Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden are considered to have simple processes, but some sources suggest Innerrhoden might be slightly easier.
Basel-Stadt: Basel-Stadt may have a straightforward process, especially for long-term residents who have integrated well.
Schaffhausen: Schaffhausen is known to have reasonable naturalization procedures compared to some larger cantons.
Thurgau: Thurgau's naturalization process is generally considered manageable.
Fribourg (Freiburg): Fribourg's naturalization process might have some specific requirements, but it's generally regarded as reasonable.
Solothurn: Solothurn's naturalization process is perceived to be somewhat more involved compared to some smaller cantons.
Basel-Landschaft: Basel-Landschaft may have a slightly more complex process compared to Basel-Stadt.
Aargau: Aargau's naturalization process might involve more requirements compared to some smaller cantons.
Zug: Zug's naturalization process may have more requirements compared to some smaller cantons.
St. Gallen: St. Gallen may have a somewhat more involved naturalization process compared to smaller cantons.
Bern (Berne): As one of the larger cantons, Bern's naturalization process might involve more documentation and requirements.
Zürich (Zurich): As one of the largest and most populous cantons, Zurich's naturalization process may have more requirements and take longer to complete compared to smaller cantons.
Graubünden (Grisons): Graubünden's naturalization process can be more complex due to its unique multilingual character and additional requirements for language proficiency.

Hello Olivia!
How are you doing dear?
I changed your video, Thank you so much for sharing your experience and am looking for some help please
My husband lives in Switzerland (lazern)and am planning to move there soon 🔜 from Canada
My I know how could I manage to get a job there
Any courier recommendations please
Am a professional banking advisor here in Canada
Thank you in advance for your help and advice
How can you not even correctly spell your partner’s city? What a shame.
can you talk about how the crime rate is ? and also is it really safe for expats ?😪
Saying 4500 chf is a small salary is a bit delusional. I mean, what are your expectations in general? Are Singapore salaries way higher?
The cost of living is at least 2 times higher in Switzerland. 4500CHF might sound a lot, but it is really just enough for you to minimally get by. You can watch my latest video breaking down my monthly expenses for better understanding.
Hello ollie am from kenya kindly how can i apply jobs for unskilled jobs in Switzerland kindly help me
Hi i want to come but how will travel becz am in Uganda
Mam do you want to recommend employer who wants to sponsor applicants
Great job, simplifying the whole process and circumstances which is not that straightforward.
Hi Olivia .I want to pursue a master's degree in computer science in Switzerland. How much money is enough in your opinion for two years as a student?
And what is the chance of finding a job in switzerland as a noun eu person? Thanks
as mentioned in the video it is very hard for a non eu person to find a job in Switzerland due to the already saturated job market comprising locals or EU citizens. You have to prove to have exceptional skills or in sectors like pharmaceutical or IT for the company to be willing to jump through legal and administrative hoops to get the permit for you
Is there a cv format for Switzerland?
Are you talking about 4500 for a first job brutto or netto? Thank you for anwering
Brut
hi olivia! i have been watching your videos. my family is also from a non-EU country. my husband has been hired as a senior researcher in one of the universities in Switzerland. i just want to know. did you move there together with your husband or did you go there on a different date? if in case you moved at the same time, did the employer of your husband process your visa or do you have to apply it in the swiss embassy of Singapore? and how long did you have to wait for your visa once the work authorization of your husband has been received? Thank you for answering my questions. confused wife here. we want to move to Switzerland together along with our two kids. thank you.
Hi: Singapore and Switzerland have bilateral agreements and there was no need for a visa. What we needed was the B permit and once my husband got it, I had it immediately as well. I moved the same day as my husband. I did not. Apply anything at the swiss embasssy.
i see. thank you so much for your reply! =) love watching your videos!
Hello, Olivia. How are you doing?
How much is it to rent an apartment in Zurich?
Hey how do I apply as cleaner or fruit picker which website
Idk, that sounds pretty impossible for a non-EU resident (US citizen). Do any companies ever offer jobs to these people, especially jobs that aren’t easily transferrable like IT? Seems pretty farfetched to expect and like it’s set up to deny these people. Basically, non-EU residents without family or a spouse in the country have no hope of moving to somewhere like Switzerland unless they’re on the ins with some high-level executive in the country who’s willing to bend over backward to help with their visa?
Danke
I’m trying to find work in Switzerland but it’s been a challenge as an American . Should I come as a tourist visa and job hunt? Thanks ❤

How is age discrimination in Switzerland?
hi Olivia, how to apply in Switzerland, just want to ask if they open now a contract for domestic helper?, baby sitter, cleaner, or age care? thank you for you vdeo
Hi, unfortunately no. U need to get the permit first before you can work. I explained in the video how the permit process works esp for non-EFTA members. And usually it is difficult.
Thank you for this video ! I am a new zealander and am going over to Switzerland in August for 3 months. Is there anything I can do to work there ?
please help me i love Switzerland
