Hi sanlam and welcome on board!
Maybe you could tell more about the purpose of your move.
Work, study etc ...?
Your question is a bit vague.

Thank you for your reply Harmonie. I have been to Switzerland in 2007, but would like to know what you a South African do to be able to work in Switzerland. Can I obtain a work permit. Or if I can obtain a student visa, if so , approximatlely how much is the costs to study.
Work permit: if you want to work in Switzerland and you neither hold a Swiss passport nor one of the EU countries,
- an employer can only hire you if he can prove that he cannot get anyone for the job from Switzerland or from the EU
- Even if the employer can prove that, the number of work permits is limited to a maximum number per calender year.
Hope this helps,
Twan.
Thank you so much Twan. Your feedback is appreciated.
