Migration to Switzerland
Switzerland is a state in Central Europe, a federal republic consisting of 26 cantons with federal authorities in Bern. The population of Switzerland as of January 2022 is 8,824,554 people. The capital city of Bern has a population of 128,848.
Switzerland has gathered within its borders a unique diversity of nature and landscape. The Alps in the southeast, the Swiss Plateau in the central part of the country, and the Jura Mountains in the northwest form the three main geographic regions. Mountain ranges occupy a little more than 60% of the country’s area.
The climate in Switzerland is temperate continental, thanks to which the country has warm summers and mild winters. In the mountains, it gets colder as the altitude increases.
The Swiss economy is one of the most competitive in the world, mainly due to the service sector, which accounts for 72% of the total GDP. The tax burden in Switzerland is relatively low and varies by canton and community.
The Swiss healthcare system is known worldwide as a reference model. It is divided into public, subsidized private, and fully private health sectors. The system includes highly qualified doctors and medical facilities equipped with the latest technology, with a complete absence of queues. However, the cost of medical services in Switzerland is very high.
Unlike other European countries, the Swiss healthcare system is not subsidized by tax deductions to the budget and is not financed by employers, but is paid by citizens through contributions to the health insurance system. In addition to basic health insurance, many people living in Switzerland take out private health insurance. Switzerland’s private healthcare sector is one of the largest in the world and provides all possible medical services.
Each canton of Switzerland has a separate education system, but the quality of educational services and their availability are guaranteed by the federal government. The Swiss constitution proclaims universal compulsory secondary education for all citizens from 6 to 16 years old, guarantees the availability and free of charge of education in the country, and is also responsible for the conformity of diplomas by type and level of education of different cantons with each other.
One of the features of the education system in Switzerland is its flexibility. Higher education institutions in Switzerland offer academic programs in 4 languages: German, French, Italian, and English
Each of the banks has its own specific requirements and procedures for applying for a residence permit. A residence permit can be issued from 1 to 5 years, depending on the basis. After 5-10 years after permanent residence in Switzerland, a foreigner has the right to obtain permanent residence. After another 2 years – citizenship. The residence requirement depends on the category to which a person belongs in terms of Swiss immigration law.
