How it works

Four stages, from your first message to follow-up

  1. 01 You

    You tell us about your situation

    A few details: your current permit, your canton, the step you have in mind.

  2. 02 The firm

    Assessment

    We examine the legal requirements that apply to you and send you a written proposal with the flat fee.

  3. 03 You and the firm

    File and filing

    We draw up the list of documents for your canton, draft the application and file it with the authority.

  4. 04 The authorities

    Follow-up until the decision

    We follow the file and answer the authority's requests. The decision rests with the authority.
