Permits and family
A residence permit is always tied to a purpose: a job, self-employment, education, retirement, a family. We start from that purpose to build the file, then make sure it is renewed.
For whom
The requirements of the law
A residence permit is granted for a stay of more than one year and for a specific purpose. Depending on that purpose, the law sets distinct requirements.
The extension
The B permit is of limited duration. Its extension is not automatic, but the law provides for it where there is no ground for revocation.

The documents
Fees
CHF 1,500 to CHF 3,000
flat fee, depending on the purpose of the stay
A first residence permit, or the move from another permit to a B permit. The fee depends on the ground for admission and the number of documents to gather.
Where the B permit is sought for salaried work, the application comes from the employer: the full procedure then applies.
CHF 600
flat fee per person
The application to extend an existing residence permit, prepared within the time limit set by the ordinance.
A situation that raises questions (social assistance, unemployment, separation of the couple) may justify a preliminary review, billed separately.
Indicative amounts, excluding VAT (Swiss standard rate of 8.1% since 1 January 2024). They are confirmed in writing before any engagement, on the basis of the actual file. For an employer established abroad, the service is deemed to be supplied abroad within the meaning of art. 8 para. 1 LTVA and the invoice is issued without VAT. For a private individual domiciled abroad, the VAT treatment is specified in the proposal.
