Job hunting with a Ci permit
In addition to job hunting at the various international or Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO), the spouses of the members of the permanent missions to the United Nations and international civil servants, as well as their children, under certain conditions, are able to have access to the Swiss labour market by way of a Ci permit.
To find out about the conditions of access to the Swiss labour market, we suggest you make direct contact with:
- The human resources departments of the permanent missions to the United Nations
- The human resources departments of the international organisations
For more extensive information concerning access to the labour market, please consult the "Practical manuel of application of the system of privileges, immunities and other facilities"
