IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? L and B quotas for EU/EFTA nationals have been exhausted for 2017.
What does the change mean? Employers seeking to place new EU/EFTA assignees in Switzerland while remaining on foreign employment contracts will need to wait until Jan. 1 for new quotas to be available. The exhaustion of the L and B quotas does not affect 120-day permits or four-month short-term permits.
Background: The following procedures apply for individual cantons when quotas are exhausted.
BAL Analysis: Demand for Swiss permits for EU/EFTA assignees continues to outpace quotas. Employers who require information on other cantons should contact their BAL professional.
