UK nationals who have been legally living in Switzerland before
December 31, 2020 when the UK withdraws from the EU may continue to
live, study, and work in Switzerland through rights established
through the Withdrawal Agreement. UK nationals who are residents of
Switzerland by the end of the Brexit transition will be covered by
the Withdrawal Agreement, and their rights will be protected if
they remain a resident. UK nationals should make sure they are
registered as residents.
Entry and Residency Requirements
UK nationals will be able to stay in Switzerland if they were
residents before December 31, 2020.
UK nationals must register at the local office of resident
services in the municipality where they are staying within 14 days
of moving to Switzerland. UK nationals only need to apply for a
residence permit if they are staying for more than 90 days. UK
nationals who need a residence permit can apply for one with the
local cantonal authority in the municipality
