Working in Switzerland
The police cantonale des
étrangers authorise EU students
to work as from the start of their
studies at EPFL. They may work
maximum 15 hours per week
during semesters and full-time
during the academic holiday.
Non-EU students are not allowed
to work during the first six
months of their stay in Switzerland,
after which they may work
maximum 15 hours per week
during semesters and full-time
during the academic holiday.
For all regular paid work, students
holding a B permit must
ask their future employer to fill
in and sign a form for employment
(form 1350 for Canton
Vaud). They should then have
this document endorsed by
the Student Services Hotline.
The form is available on :
http://www.vd.ch/fr/themes/
vie-privee/etrangers/entreeet-sejour/formulaires/
Failure to comply with these
rules may result in refusal to
extend the residence permit.
