Die Herausforderung

Navigating Diplomatic Residency.

For staff of international organizations and diplomatic missions, Switzerland offers a distinct residency framework.

The legitimation card (Carte de légitimation) is issued by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) to members of diplomatic missions, consular posts, and international organizations based in Switzerland. Unlike standard residence permits, the legitimation card follows a separate administrative path. Welcome Service guides you through this process, ensuring all documentation is prepared correctly and submitted efficiently.
