Obtaining work permits for a project team:

An internationally active consulting firm has been contracted to introduce CRM software in Switzerland and accompany the implementation process. For this purpose, 7 persons of different nationalities from across the globe were necessary, each for a period of 4 months in Switzerland.
We calculated the equivalent Swiss salary, filled out the necessary forms, and submitted the permit application. In Switzerland, the business activities had to be performed not only in Zurich, but also in Geneva, such that in addition to a 120-day work permit for Zurich, we also obtained approval for Geneva.
