Residency, citizenship and tax status in Switzerland — which routes work, what the
programmes changed, and where people lose money. One question per write-up.
Switzerland does not sell residence. It negotiates it, canton by canton, through an agreed annual tax on a notional basis — and the agreement is with a specific commune, not with a country.
Leave your name, phone and the country you have in mind — I will come back with what your situation actually allows: which status is realistic, what it takes and how long it runs.
