Can UK passport move to Switzerland freely for residence and work?
I'm a third year uni student studying accounting and Finance, I hope to move to Switzerland after graduation and look for jobs there. So I got a few questions, Anyone could help me? 1. Can UK passport holder reside and work in Switzerland with out any application of VISA or Residence permit? 2. What kind of skill is the Swiss labour market looking for? or in shortage? I might stay in UK for Master or CFA or ACCA after graduate, this would effect my choice of subject. 3. Can foreign people acquire real estate property there fairly easily ( I mean any restriction due to the nationality of the buyer?) 4. Which city would be nice to live in? ( in terms of price level and opportunity and of course the general living standard of that area) 5. If working in a swiss bank is it english the prevalent language for paper works etc? or the local language? I will learn French and German but i wonder if i have to be a advanced speaker? 6. Is the only way of obtaining swiss passport is by birth or marriage, no other ways?

1. Can UK passport holder reside and work in Switzerland with out any application of VISA or Residence permit? NO I dont beleive so - since swtizerland is NOT a FULL member of the EU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland_and_the_European_Union 2. What kind of skill is the Swiss labour market looking for? or in shortage? I might stay in UK for Master or CFA or ACCA after graduate, this would effect my choice of subject. profesional and advanced skills - you will need to find out 3. Can foreign people acquire real estate property there fairly easily ( I mean any restriction due to the nationality of the buyer?) probably no miore rstrictions than anywhere else - but you have to pay taxes and this will NOT get you any automatic citizenship rights. Switzerland is VERY strict on foreigners immigrating to their country. 4. Which city would be nice to live in? ( in terms of price level and opportunity and of course the general living standard of that area) Thats going to have to be something you want to decide on - I personally would like tio live in Geneva - home of the EU and some UN offices - a truely international city 5. If working in a swiss bank is it english the prevalent language for paper works etc? or the local language? I will learn French and German but i wonder if i have to be a advanced speaker? Yes you would have to be a fluent speaker and its french in the west (geneva) and german in the east (basel and zurich) and italian in the south (sion) 6. Is the only way of obtaining swiss passport is by birth or marriage, no other ways? you can immigrate - if you are eligible - as a skilled worker - but the process takes well over 10 years!!! marriage will also take more than 10 years too!!!

Yes you should be fine with French. It's one of Switzerland's official languages.
2 :
Not necessarily. For some bizarre reason a lot of people in the German parts don't speak French and vice versa. Even then, Swiss German has its own dialect using some French words as well. English is a common second language, but if you want to make your life easier I'd move to a French speaking city.
3 :
Regarding life OUTSIDE work I'd say that you will have no problems getting by either with French or English (it depends on the region you might be moving to), however, as regards work this might be more difficult and if indeed you do speak French (I don't know what work you are looking for or your background etc,) I'd also advise to move to the French speaking part of Switzerland. Our company, for example, simply would not have any work for you NOT speaking/writing any German. BTW, I assume that you know how to write French.

That depends what doctor you are. Docs in Zurich and Geneva earn more than the ones in other Cantons. And it depends if you have your own Praxis or not. They normally have a fix income for each month. But the big money comes from all the extras, like surgery tax, patient tax from the hospital, consultations in the Praxis etc. I'd say for a doctor in ZH or GE the fix-salary starts from 8.0000-9.000 and can go up until ???

you get paid in Cocoa Beans.
2 :
dude, don't try to get a chocolate factory job. The oompa loompas work harder for less pay. They're being employed by most chocolate factories as there is no "minimum wage" for them.
3 :
Gidday mate :-) It's not my intention to disappoint you, I'm simply confronting you with reality: You are eligible for jobs here only if you can provide very sophisticated skills a Swiss or EU citizen doesn't have. Otherwise (and especially without fluency in either German, French or Italian), your chances are down to zero. It's just about the same if I would like to get a job in Australia without speaking English and without any special skills that are required for the Oz labour market. Still, to answer your original answer: Wages vary for a simple worker (from about 2'500 Sfr) to astronomically high salaries if employed as a leading manager (millions seem to become the rule for those these days).

The higher your education, the easier it is to get a job if you only speak english (universities, international companies). Other jobs are difficult to get without speaking a native language. It really depends on what your qualifications are.
