You can get a work visa if a Swiss company wants to hire you for a special skill or expertise you have. The easier way is probably to start working for a Swiss company in the US and then let you relocate to Switzerland still working for that company.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoIs is still hard for US citizens to get bank accounts?
- microtherion 9y agoIt's not really about US citizenship. It's about being subject to US taxation. The IRS has a rather more generous definition of whether you are a "US person" than the INS does. That said, if you are a legal resident in Switzerland, you should be able to find banking here. If you just step off the plane with a suitcase full of money and walk into a bank, though — I would recommend making it a LARGE suitcase.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 9y agoAFAIK it's still significantly more annoying than for non-Us persons, but not insurmountable.
- chrisper 9y agoFWIW I am not a US citizen but had to fill out an IRS tax form as well when getting a bank account in Switzerland since I was living in the US for 5 years.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoMy understanding is that anyone with a green card has trouble opening a Swiss account, even if they are Swiss.
