Switzerland visa - processing time ??

[cojak]

This looks more like a short term secondment, where you are payed and taxed in the UK. It is possible that you don't need a permit, doesn't sound like it. Otherwise you'll be on the payroll of an agency and then the client and your agent will make sure you have the permit, which by the way is automatic.

Not always, which is why I got into trouble.

It doesn't take long (3 weeks? not sure) to process a work permit, if you are an EU citizen. Also, if you are an EU citizen, there are no quotas for work permits.

That's good - they're getting better at it.

Thanks all , one of the Indian IT gorillas called me , apparently they have longish work in Switzerland. The recruiter has no idea about placing someone in Switzerland when it comes to work/permits , etc. , so the guy asked me to "do research" .

no offence but Indian Agents ... kinda makes you like good old english dodgy agents .

OMG - that's worse than the dodgy pimp who first placed me!

For "longish work" you definitely want to be paid in Swiss Francs.

A 200'000 CHF project now is worth about £125'000. Three years ago it was £85'000.

( Or working the other way, a £100'000 project is CHF160'000, but was CHF240'000 ).
