The living expenses are calculated at CHF 100 per person per day.

Apply for a work permit

If foreigners intend to work in Switzerland, they must apply to the relevant Swiss authorities for a work permit. The work permit is applied by the employer on behalf of the employer, and is jointly reviewed and approved by the federal and state aliens administration. Job applications are generally not easy to get approval, and employers must prove to the relevant authorities that no Swiss is suitable for the job.

There are three types of permits: A, B and C. A work permit holder can live and work in Switzerland for less than 9 months in a year. The holder must live outside Switzerland and cannot bring his family into Switzerland. Those who intend to work in Switzerland for more than 9 months must apply for a B-type permit, which is generally issued by the state authorities, and each state can only issue a certain number of permits each year. Class B permit holders can only change their residence and employer after obtaining the permit 1 year. People who have lived in Switzerland for more than 65,438+00 years (five years for nationals of Nordic countries, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom) can apply for a Class C permit. This permit has no time limit, and the holder does not need to obtain approval to change his residence and work.

To apply for a work permit, you must submit a work application in triplicate, two passport photos and a brief resume 1. The application must be submitted to the Swiss embassy or consulate, and the work contract signed with the Swiss employer must be presented. After receiving all kinds of documents required for visa, the embassy will send them to the relevant Swiss departments for approval as soon as possible. The time required for a visa is 8 to 10 weeks.

Foreigners who intend to live in Switzerland must apply for a residence permit. The residence permit is issued by the state government and updated once a year. If a work permit has been obtained, the residence will be established automatically through the registration procedures approved by the municipal authorities. After living in Switzerland for several years, you can get a residence permit that is valid indefinitely.

Business visa

Citizens of China who want to stay in Switzerland for business for no more than 3 months need to apply for a visa 15 days in advance; Those who stay for more than 3 months need to apply for a visa 30 days in advance.

Documents required for visa application: valid passport, original invitation letter, list of people going abroad and visa form. The invitation letter must include the name, address and telephone number of the inviting unit, the signature of the inviter, the validity period and stay time of the invitation letter, the purpose of the visit and who will bear the expenses. The invitation letter must be original or faxed. There are two kinds of visa forms.

Visa applications are handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and the units that have the right to apply for visas themselves.

transit visa

If you go to a third country via Switzerland, you will not leave the airport for more than 48 hours, and those who have booked a joint flight ticket are exempt from a transit visa. If you need to leave the airport, you can exchange your passport for a pass. Otherwise, you must apply for a transit visa, fill in the 1 transit visa application form and submit 1 photos. The transit visa only allows you to stay in Switzerland for 2 days. Visa validity 1 month.

Entry-exit inspection

Passengers can carry personal belongings with a value of no more than 65,438+000 Swiss francs, 2 liters of low-alcohol wine or 65,438+0 liters of draft beer, 2 cameras, 65,438+0 movie cameras or 65,438+0 video cameras, and appropriate films, perfumes and gifts with a value of no more than 65,438+000 Swiss francs, and 65,438. The prohibited items include parrots, monkeys and products of all animals that do not meet the quarantine standards, and the entry of guns is also particularly strict.

Exit: There is no limit on the quantity of any Swiss products except watches and clocks. If you take clocks and watches abroad, five of them are duty-free.

Switzerland is not an immigrant country, so it is very difficult and basically impossible to apply for skilled migration. Investment immigrants need to invest at least 654.38 million Swiss francs in Switzerland, which is not necessarily the case. If you want to increase your odds, you need to invest nearly 10 million yuan.

According to the current law, you must have lived in Switzerland for 12 years before you can become a Swiss citizen.

However, as long as you have lived in Switzerland for more than 10 years, you can get a C-type residence permit. According to New Zealand's latest new technology immigration policy (65438+2 1, 2005), applicants with New Zealand job guarantee and grades of 140 are preferred. There is job security, and the score is between 100 and 140, which will be given special consideration. If there is no job guarantee and the score is lower than 140, the score will be considered according to the number of immigrants from high to low.

If there is no job guarantee in New Zealand, it will be difficult for China applicants to meet the immigration requirements. If you want to immigrate to New Zealand, you can consider studying abroad before emigrating.

Skilled migration policy:

New skilled immigrants still adopt the scoring system, which puts forward higher requirements for the comprehensive quality of applicants. Applicants need to get enough extra points in the specified fields to pass the minimum score 100 stipulated by the immigration bureau. Achieving 100 is only the most basic condition. Applicants need to reach IELTS 6.5 or have at least two years of academic qualifications recognized by NZQA (New Zealand Education Assessment Center) before applying. If applicants who meet the basic requirements must submit an application for intention first, the Immigration Bureau will select applicants with high scores every month according to the quota. The scoring criteria are as follows:

Work:

Have worked and are working in New Zealand 12 months or more: 60 points.

New Zealand employment invitation or working in New Zealand for less than 12 months.

The application for skilled migration is divided into six steps:

Applicant evaluation

Applicants conduct self-assessment through policy consultation, or fill in the online assessment form for skilled immigrants, and we will evaluate it for you. You need to meet the requirement of at least 100 points.

Submit the letter of intent (EOI) to Immigration New Zealand.

The applicant submits an application form for immigration intention to the Immigration Bureau, and at the same time provides physical examination, notarization of no crime, English scores and points.

Immigration New Zealand evaluates your application for immigration intention.

The Immigration Bureau will take several weeks to evaluate the applications submitted for immigration intention, and those with higher scores will be allowed to submit immigration applications. For the first unsuccessful intention application, it will be ranked, and the second one will be selected for a period of 3 months. If the applicant is not selected, the Immigration Bureau will inform the applicant that the application for intention is invalid. The applicant has the right to resubmit a new application for intention.

Formally submit an immigration application to the Immigration Bureau.

If the applicant's intention application is successfully selected, the applicant will receive an invitation letter from the Immigration Bureau and then enter the formal application procedure for skilled immigrants. In this step, the applicant needs to submit a series of relevant documents such as passport and education.

Immigration makes the final decision.

The Immigration Bureau will evaluate the applicant's application according to the government's immigration policy. If it can be determined that the applicant will succeed in New Zealand, and that the applicant belongs to the talents that New Zealand needs, and that the applicant's immigration will bring benefits to New Zealand, then the Immigration Bureau will approve the applicant's immigration application.

Successfully immigrated and officially settled in New Zealand.

David Cunliffe, Minister of Immigration of New Zealand, said: In the next two fiscal years, 3,000 skilled immigrants will be added. The new regulations will help employers find new skilled immigrants from overseas and promote the development of enterprises.

Analysis of New Zealand's latest immigration policy from June 5 to February 26, 2005;

/kloc-applicants with a score of 0/40 or above will be automatically selected;

Applicants with technical employment positions or current technical employment achievements and a total score of 100- 140 will also be selected;

If there are still remaining places, select the remaining applications;

The time for EOI to apply in the talent pool has been increased from three months to six months;

The number of skilled immigrants with job invitations increased by 3,000, and the number of applications without job invitations increased by 1000;

WTR is reduced from two years to six months, and the holder must solve the technical employment work within six months and work for three months in exchange for PR;

EOI was selected from the pool on or before February 2, 2005, and was held in NZ on February 2, 2005. Or applicants who have been invited are not affected by this change;

If the EOI score is 100 or 105 (no job opportunity score), and they have not received the invitation, and on June 2, 2006, 1 people were overseas, they will be able to submit the EOI application again free of charge and be tried under the new policy;

EOI will be suspended between 22/12/05-0102/06, and the next EOI will be held at 0102/06;

If your score is 100, and you have been invited before 65438+February 2 1, then now: you may get a PR or WTR work permit for six months, and you can find a skilled employment job in exchange for PR within six months.

Generally speaking, the new policy has little impact on applicants who submitted EOI before June 5438+February 2 1, 2005, unless the applicants were not invited and were not in New Zealand on June 5438+February 2 1.

At present, there are not many applicants who can really reach 140, and there are not many applicants with skilled employment OFFER. However, the Immigration Bureau has increased the number of skilled immigrants. In order to reach the annual immigration quota, it is necessary to allocate the quota to ordinary applicants with a score of 140 after selecting applicants with job OFFER.

The new policy of skilled migration is to change the situation that the score of skilled migration exceeded 100 in the past. The Immigration Bureau itself also wants to improve the gold content of skilled immigrant applicants and select them at different levels. But in the end, if the high score is not enough, the quota will still be divided.

The new policy usually benefits those applicants who find technical jobs in New Zealand. Applicants without job security will find it difficult to be invited. Since September 2004, the score of skilled immigrants has remained at 100. Many applicants who have not found a job may also apply for immigration directly. For example, there is a shortage of academic qualifications in New Zealand, and both the principal and deputy applicants have New Zealand academic qualifications.
