Good to know

If you are not Swiss

If you come to work, you must register in any case before starting work (art. 12 para. 1 FNIA).

Missing the registration costs a fine. Anyone who fails to register their arrival within the deadline breaches the obligation and is punished with a fine — and negligence is enough, the law does not require intent. (art. 120 para. 1 let. a LStrI)

MyArrival is not legal, tax, insurance or immigration advice, and does not replace it. The official sources remain those of the Confederation, the cantons and the municipalities. If the app and the competent authority disagree, the authority prevails.
