Swiss migration law regulates the entry, residence and integration of foreign nationals. The central federal law is the Foreign Nationals and Integration Act (FNIA)<\/strong>, which sets out the various types of permit (short stay, residence, settlement, etc.) as well as rights and obligations during the stay <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. As a rule, foreign nationals require a residence permit, the type of which depends on the purpose and duration of their stay. The B residence permit<\/strong> (temporary residence, e.g. for work or family purposes) and the C permanent residence permit<\/strong> (permanent residence after a longer period of residence) are widely used. Migration law also regulates the conditions for family reunification<\/strong> (spouses, registered partners and children), including deadlines and integration requirements, as well as special provisions in connection with marriage and civil partnerships<\/strong> (e.g. in cases of suspected fictitious marriage<\/strong> or after the dissolution of a marriage). In cases of hardship – for example in the case of long-term illegal residence (sans-papiers)<\/strong> or for serious personal reasons – humanitarian solutions exist under certain conditions. Finally, Swiss migration law contains clear requirements for companies wishing to employ foreign workers: In particular, work permits for third-country nationals<\/strong> (people from countries outside the EU\/EFTA) are only issued if strict conditions are met, while EU\/EFTA citizens are favored under the free movement of persons. <\/p>\n
