The minimum salary requirement for a Switzerland Work Visa is not a fixed nationwide figure but is determined based on Swiss industry standards, job type, and canton-specific wage guidelines. Swiss authorities ensure that foreign workers are paid in line with local employees to prevent underpayment.
- On average, highly skilled professionals are expected to earn at least CHF 55,000 – CHF 65,000 per year (approx. AED 225,000 – 265,000).
- In specialized sectors such as IT, engineering, or healthcare, salaries are often higher, ranging between CHF 70,000 – CHF 90,000 annually.
Employers must provide proof that the offered salary is fair, competitive, and sufficient to cover Switzerland’s high living costs.
