Can I bring my family to Switzerland to study for a doctorate?

Swiss doctoral students can bring their families into the country.

According to the regulations of the Swiss Federal Office for Migration, doctoral students with Swiss student visas can enter Switzerland accompanied by their spouses and minor children. Applicants need to provide relevant documents of spouse and children, such as marriage certificate and birth certificate, and meet the requirements of Swiss immigration authorities for economic ability and housing conditions. Moreover, spouses and children also need to apply for corresponding visas or residence permits.

Before applying for a doctoral visa, applicants are advised to know the relevant regulations and requirements of the Swiss Immigration Bureau in advance and prepare the required supporting documents.
