Switzerland distinguishes between short-term Schengen visas and long-term national visas for foreign nationals intending to reside, work or study in the country. Citizens of EU and EFTA member states benefit from freedom of movement arrangements, while most other foreign nationals are subject to Swiss immigration quotas and residence permit requirements. Residence permits are issued for specific purposes such as employment, education, family reunification and self-employment. Long-term residence is administered by the cantonal migration authorities, with federal legislation providing the overall legal framework. Applicants are generally expected to satisfy financial, accommodation and health insurance requirements where applicable. Permit conditions and procedures may differ between cantons.
