- s4vi0r 10y agoI'd imagine most people would probably love to live in Switzerland, but isn't it also stupidly hard to get a work visa if you're not already an EU citizen? IIRC the company has to prove to the government that nobody in Switzerland or the EU could do your job
- s3nnyy 10y agoIf you're not already an EU citizen, it is hard to get into the canton of Zurich, that is true. However, it is possible in January as there are fresh quotas. And if you make senior-level salary, it is easier. Also, i depends on the company (they have to have proper documentation their hiring efforts). However, the government official from the immigration services is making the final decision.
