Cap Admission: where you stand, and what you control

You are outside the EU/EFTA and targeting a job in Switzerland. Admission is reserved for qualified profiles and it is your future employer who files the request. Here is an honest orientation by profession — not a promise.

Your qualification level

Orientation, not legal advice or a permit promise. The cantonal authority decides case by case, within the quota. Sector shortage: Adecco/UZH Swiss Skills Shortage Index 2025. Framework: art. 21-23 FNIA (SEM).

Ready to build your strategy? The Cap Admission support targets employers likely to sponsor you and prepares the “labour-market priority” case that makes the step easier for them.
