Consultation hours
Wed and Fri 11:00 – 13:00 (or by appointment). 

If you are a national of an EU or EFTA country, you need not do anything special before entering Switzerland. However, you are obliged to register with the Citizen’s Registry Office (“Einwohnerkontrolle”) at your new place of residence within 14 days of your arrival in Switzerland and apply for a residence permit.

Although nationals of Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore do not require a visa to enter Switzerland, in order to obtain a residence permit they must submit the same documents as those students who do require a visa. The difference is that the former do not have to wait in their home country for a decision regarding the visa to be taken; they are free to enter Switzerland.

IMPORTANT:

Even if you have been assured a residence permit in advance, you must still apply for a residence permit within 14 days of your arrival.
