14 4.2 Citizens of non-EU/EFTA nations 4.2.1 Work- and residence permit Since entry into effect of the bilateral treaties between the EU and Switzerland and their validity for the EFTA, citizens of those areas are given priority treatment. The number of permits for citizens of other nations is strictly limited (under quotas). In the case of people who enter Switzerland for the first time on an annual or short-term permit to pursue an occupation for gain, the Department of Economics and Employment (KWA) checks whether the preconditions for performing the occupation are fulfilled. On the basis of their decision, the Department for Matters Regarding Foreigners (KAFA) then issues a residence permit. 4.2.1.1 Short-term residence permit (up to max. 4 months or 120 days per year) Form K2 The following preconditions must be fulfilled for the granting of a short-term residence permit: • A signed, binding employment contract must be available. That governs the period of the residence permit. • The foreigner may not replace another person on a short-term permit within the same organisation (rotation). • The number of foreigners employed short-term may only exceed one quarter of the entire workforce in an organisation in justified, exceptional cases. 4.2.1.2 Short-term residence permit (4 to 12 months) Form B2 The following preconditions must be fulfilled for the granting of a short-term residence permit (4 to 12 months): • A signed, binding employment contract for more than 4 months must be available. That governs the duration of the residence permit. • The reason for the application must be submitted in writing. • The qualified education or special know-how of the new employee must be proven. • The permit can only be extended once and for a further period of 12 months in exceptional cases if the occupation for gain remains with the same employer. 4.2.1.3 Residence permit Permit «B» The following preconditions must be fulfilled for the granting of a residence permit of one Form B2 year or more: • A signed, binding employment contract with a duration of more than one year must be available. That governs the duration of the residence permit. • The reason for the application must be submitted in writing and proof must be provided by the employer that it was impossible to find a suitable employee in Switzerland and of the necessity to employ a foreigner who is not an EU/EFTA citizen. • The qualified education or special know-how or a transfer of management within inter national groups of companies must be proven. • There must be chances of long-term integration.

In contrast to the limited residence permit, its permanent counterpart is not associated with any conditions and is for an unlimited period of time. (More information about the permanent residence permit can be found under www.zug.ch/kafa) 4.3 Purchase of real estate by non-Swiss citizens The purchase of real estate in the Canton of Zug is possible largely without restrictions and permits. There are no restrictions for the purchase of real estate by Swiss-controlled companies. (An overview of the real estate currently being offered is available under: www.zug.ch/economy or www.immozug.ch) 4.3.1 Purchase for residential purposes EU/EFTA citizens with their main place of residence in Switzerland can purchase real estate of any kind in the same way as Swiss citizens. They do not need an additional permit. For foreigners with their place of residence abroad and for foreigners who live in Switzerland but are neither EU nor EFTA citizens and who do not possess a valid permanent residence permit, real estate of up to 3000 m 2 can be purchased without a permit if it serves as self-used residential property (main place of residence) if the purchaser has the right to stay in Switzerland without time limits. For real estate of more than 3000 m 2 land area, the purchase can only be made without a permit if so decided by the Department of Economic Affairs. 15
