Work Permit
For when do I need to request a valid Work Permit?
For this reason we will guide you in submitting your request before this date.
Who’s entitled to work with a Manpower contract?
According to the Swiss Law, agencies can hire with a temporary contract Swiss Citizens and candidates with UE-27/AELE citizenship.
If you should have a non UE27-AELE citizenship nor a valid work permit, unfortunately a work permit cannot be issued with a temporary contract.
What is the process to obtain a valid Work Permit?
The process can change following the Canton you live in.

At the moment I have a Student Permit (B), does this allow me to work for a temporary assignment through Manpower?
Since we are a temporary placement agency, even if you have a Student Permit (B), you will need to request an authorization to obtain a work permit.
If you should have a non UE27-AELE citizenship, unfortunately this won’t be possible.
