Switzerland has announced a cap of 8,500 visas for foreign skilled workers in 2025, signaling opportunities for professionals seeking to work in one of the world’s most advanced economies. If you’re considering this golden chance, here’s what you need to know.
Highlights of the 2025 Visa Cap
- 8,500 total visas available for foreign skilled workers.
- 4,500 B-residence permits for long-term stay.
- 4,000 L short-term residence permits for temporary assignments.
This cap reflects Switzerland’s aim to align its immigration policy with the country’s labor market needs, ensuring a steady supply of skilled talent.
Why the Cap?
The decision by the Swiss Federal Council ensures that foreign skilled worker quotas meet economic demand without exceeding limits. Unlike in previous years, where quotas were underutilized — 78% in 2023 and 63% in 2024 — the new cap offers a balance between economic needs and immigration control.
Opportunities for Third-World Countries
Qualified professionals from third-world countries are eligible to apply, with recruitment focusing on Switzerland’s economic requirements and the needs of the EU/EFTA region. Special provisions continue for UK passport holders, recognized as third-country nationals, under a unique quota system.
