Required language tests for foreigners when living in Switzerland

Language requirements for living and remaining in Switzerland are governed by a legal framework that can have significant implications for residence rights and permit renewals.

The webinar provides an overview of what Swiss law requires, which diplomas are accepted for which purposes, and where there may be room for discussion or negotiation with the authorities.
