Fragomen is hosting an interactive panel discussion looking at the current Swiss immigration landscape and the new measures implemented by the Swiss Federal Council to facilitate the hiring of skilled workers and its impacts in praxi.
The following topics will be covered in this session:
- The cantonal authorities’ discretion and flexibility in waiving the requirement of the labour market testing. What does the proof of priority mean and which personal requirements do candidates need to fulfil in occupational types with a pronounced shortage of skilled workers?
- Changes in the processing and the authorities’ approval procedure: What are the benefits and further developments we may expect considering the new flexibility in the decision-making on a cantonal level without involving the State Secretariat for Migration?
- Economic and scientific interest: How is the criteria defined by the authorities in praxi?
- Switching employment conditions: How has the change from employment to self-employment been facilitated?
