Yes you can apply for the Schengen visa. Get the visa application from any of the Schengen country or preferably from the country you want to enter into first. Along with application you'll have all the requirements listed such as health insurance, confirm hotel booking, travel arrangements, bank statements etc. Fulfill those requirements and apply for the visa. Meanwhile if you have any further query ask the embassy. They will assist you.

Polvey: What would you do: stay in the USA at a good job you like or move to Switzerland and work for a less-?
decent company BUT fulfill your long-term dream of living in Switzerland? Let's assume you have spent a fair amount of time in Switzerland working for a different company and that you have some friends there, the money will not be as good but still good, and you don't have strong ties to the USA.

How does the tax system in Switzerland work

How does the tax system in Switzerland work?
I know Switzerland is a nice country. From what I know, nice countries have high taxes. So can anyone tell me how the tax system in Switzerland works?

Switzerland has low taxes compared to other countries. The tax system in Switzerland is decentralized. Therefore every commune has different tax rates. Some places are real tax heavens. How much you have to pay highly depends on the place you live and on your income. Because you are a foreign resident your employer would deduct the income tax directly form your monthly salary. So the system would be very simple for you.

If you have EU citizenship and if you can proof fluency in German, French or Italian (not only beginner's knowledge), no further requirements are needed. You then can apply for a job like a Swiss citizen. For high ranking managment positions English sometimes will also do. If you are not a citizen of a EU country, you must have very highly specialized skills neither a Swiss or EU citizen can provide. You must proof this with the appropriate documents (diplomas and such). Then only you could try to convince a future employer to hire you. He then would have to ask for a working and residency permit - you can't do this yourself. In reality, this procedure is limited to very few people each year. Please also consider that the worldwide downturn had a significant impact onto the Swiss market. Even for Swiss citizens, jobs are scarce these days.
