How to immigrate to Switzerland
Switzerland has one of the highest proportions of foreign residents in the world. Most of these people come from Europe. Recently workers have been attracted to Switzerland above all by the healthy economy and the introduction of the free movement of people. However, the high proportion of foreign residents is also the result of strict naturalisation guidelines, which makes becoming Swiss quite a challenge.
