Switzerland is a country of immigration. Almost a quarter of the Swiss population holds a foreign passport. This corresponds to around 35 percent of the population and this proportion shows that Switzerland has more people with a migration background than all other neighbouring countries such as Germany or Austria.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Switzerland remains a destination for many people. Like many other European developed countries, Switzerland also needs highly qualified people. New OECD figures show that Switzerland is the third most attractive immigration country for highly skilled professionals. Ahead of Switzerland are Australia and Sweden.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
By contrast, for foreign students, Switzerland is the most attractive immigration country in the world. Most students would like to study in Switzerland and, in the majority of cases, want to work in Switzerland after graduation. Naturally, among these highly qualified individuals and students there are also Germans and Austrians whose native language is German.<\/div>\n

Everyone else must learn German and take note of a few things before departure and after arrival. With this post, we would like to provide you with a checklist to make your journey to Switzerland and your stay in this attractive immigration country easier.<\/div>\n
