Switzerland is an ideal destination for investors, entrepreneurs, and those seeking an enhanced quality of life. With a permanent residence visa, you can live, work, and buy real estate in Switzerland while benefiting from the country's rich advantages and secure environment.
Switzerland is consistently ranked among the countries with the highest quality of life. It is known for its strong economy, low unemployment rate, and excellent living standards. Swiss residents benefit from unrestricted freedom of movement, a high standard of living, and access to top-notch medical, educational, and cultural resources.
Residing in Switzerland as a foreign national
Foreign nationals with a Swiss residence permit can take advantage of the country’s favourable tax policies, which is particularly interesting for business owners and entrepreneurs. Furthermore, for foreign nationals the Swiss tax system eventually allows for the attractive option to disclose worldwide income and pay a flat tax rate based on their living expenses in Switzerland.
Here are the essentials you need to know:
Swiss Investor Visa: The C Permit, or Swiss Investor Visa, is the most desirable permit for High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWI). For non-EU citizens, the Swiss C Permit falls into two categories: Swiss Company Formation and Swiss Lump Sum Taxation.
Swiss Company Formation: Forming a Swiss company allows you to start a business in Switzerland and secure your C permit. This pathway is ideal for HNWI entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors who want to establish a permanent presence in Switzerland. Ensure your Swiss company is operational and profitable to maintain your lifestyle.
Swiss Lump Sum Taxation: Swiss Lump Sum Taxation may allow foreign nationals to pay a lump sum tax instead of standard taxes. To benefit, you must hold a C permit and reside in Switzerland. This visa is perfect for those seeking to leverage Switzerland’s liberal tax regulations.
At Perpetual Wealth, we are dedicated to seamlessly guiding you through these opportunities. Discover how Switzerland can improve your quality of life and preserve your wealth.
