Swiss immigration refers to the process by which individuals from other countries move to Switzerland for various reasons, including work, study, or family reunification. Switzerland has a well-defined immigration system that categorizes immigrants into different groups, such as EU/EFTA citizens and non-EU/EFTA citizens, each with specific rules and requirements. The Swiss government emphasizes the importance of integration, requiring immigrants to learn the local languages and understand the culture. Swiss immigration policies aim to balance the needs of the labor market with social cohesion, ensuring that newcomers can contribute positively to Swiss society while respecting its values.
