Where do I apply for my Swiss work permit?
Firstly, it should be mentioned that the B residence permit is also your work permit. No separate work permit is issued in Switzerland for German emigrants. Your B residence permit You apply for a residence permit at the town hall. First of all, you will receive a Registration certificatewhich confirms your residence in Switzerland. You will usually receive the B permit itself 3-4 weeks later. Don't worry: with the registration certificate you can already start working. To speed up the process at the town hall, you should have all the necessary documents such as your employment contract, rental agreement and your German identity card ready.
