Main service

We become the authority's point of contact, in your place

You entrust us with the position and the candidate. We prepare the file, submit it and follow its review through to the decision, remaining your single point of contact with the authority.

The engagement

What the full procedure covers

  • Preparation of the complete application file
  • Drafting of the economic case and the justification for the position
  • Coordination of supporting documents with your teams
  • Filing and follow-up with the competent cantonal authority
  • Monitoring of the federal stage where approval is required
  • Support with the employee's arrival formalities

The price varies

What drives the amount

The range of CHF 2,000 to CHF 5,000 reflects files of very different kinds. Four factors explain it, and we assess them from the feasibility assessment onwards.

  • The canton where the position is located, each authority having its own practice
  • The sector of activity and the sensitivity of the profile sought
  • How complete the file you send us is at the outset
  • The number of employees covered by the same application

The federal stage

A second review, where the file requires it

Some cantonal decisions are subject to the approval of the State Secretariat for Migration before they become final.

Fees

An amount fixed before work begins

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.
