You can in any EU country. Switzerland had the good sense to remain independant and outside the EU. Wish GB had had the good sense to do the same!

 

That said though, not sure what the score is regarding British nationals living & working in Switzerland. Unless you're a banker with a cache of stolen nazi loot & gold bullion, in which case you're welcomed with open arms, no questions asked.

Swiss company must invite you to work there and prove that anyone in region can't fulfil position. base on that you will (or not) get visa. Also problem is language or languages used there... deepens where you will stay it might be German, Italian or Swiss-German. I have family there, it's fantastic place to be...although rules are strict, foreigners in UK/IRE have way easier life than there. Saying that I know that wages or work wise is really good.

 

Good luck in new place

its a cracking place to be and even better out of work hours hit the rocks or go climb in the waterfalls as for contracting it could be hard alot of the companies choose their contractors and the competition is super stiff or though southern germany isnt as hard but there are some amazing climbers there who swallow up the work so its easier if you get on the inside and be invited in. i also know all the mates in the world dont do squat around there you got to really earn it on merit and even then getting repeat work is hard. some of the companies are family owned so they are hard to get too and like i said it is a hugely desireable place to be so the comp is still i know jon t, stu and xavier work them areas and they are all top guys. but all said and done work is work and if they need you and like you they may call so who knows. i know that the companies there are top notch and the climbers are really good guys they dont shout about it but top fellas. good luck
