The reason is, no EU nationals have to meet several requirements set by the government. Fr example, they must have a university degree, and years of work experience, and must be applying for a skilled position. Moreover, Switzerland has set a cap on the number of work permits that can be issued in a year. Therefore, only applicants who meet all the requirements, and come within the limit of visas that can be issued in a year are granted the visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, EU\/EFTA nationals can find it easy to get a work visa. SImilarly, those who are married to a Swiss citizen or resident can find it easier to get a visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><span id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1730099425039\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can Indians get a work visa in Switzerland?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.
