Work assignments of foreign employees, no matter how long, are subject to approval, and the regulations and laws are complex. To make matters worse, requirements and official practices can vary from canton to canton.

INVICO works closely with the cantonal authorities to ensure the success of the approval procedures, especially when special cases are involved.
