Hi, I’m Stella.

When I first moved to Switzerland, I thought I had a clear vision of how things would go. I was wrong.

I didn’t expect how complex, strict, and frustrating the immigration process could be - especially as a non-European. What seemed like a straightforward path turned out to be a maze of shifting rules, unspoken challenges, and hidden nuances no one prepared you for.

After years of figuring out the system (and helping others do the same), securing work, permits, and eventually gaining permanent residency, I’ve gathered insights, solutions, and hard-earned lessons.

This guide lays it all out - so you can handle Swiss immigration without stress, blind spots, or costly mistakes. I learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.
