| Please note: The mentioned provisions apply only to the families of lecturers. The family members (wife/husband and children up to 12 years) of elected professors and assistant professors will automatically receive a permanent residence permit. |
Any later migration will be granted only if important family reasons are presented. The family members must live together in Switzerland. A residence permit granted in the context of family migration is initially valid for one year, with a two-year extension possible.
The residents’ office deals with requests for the migration of spouses and children.
Please read the information factsheets on the migration of family members from EU/EFTA and third countries.
Full information for each individual case is provided by the relevant case officer at the residents’ office.
