Your rights and duties vary depending on your legal status in Switzerland.
The State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) provides a detailed brochure in different languages on the rights of recognized refugees (B permit), temporarily admitted refugees (refugee F permit) and temporarily admitted persons (foreigner F permit). You can also visit this website, which provides comprehensive information on your rights and obligations (including S permit) in various languages.
Consult the Swiss Refugee Council’s tables on rights and duties (only in French or German). They provide further details for holders of an N permit and individuals whose asylum application has been rejected.
| If you are looking for information specific to rights and duties of beneficiaries of protection status S, please consult this page: Life in Switzerland for S Status-Beneficiaries – UNHCR Switzerland. |
