| If I am a Swiss resident, can I buy a house? Is this a requirement or can I also rent? As a Swiss resident, you can buy property. Citizens of a EU-15 country can buy any property they want anywhere in
Switzerland, with the same limitations as for the Swiss. Resident who are not citizens of a EU-15 country can buy a house for their
own use. To buy a large piece of land a special autorization is still
necessary. Whatever your citizenship, there is no requirement to buy property in order
to get residency. You can definitely live in rented accommodation, which can be
of excellent quality in Switzerland. |
