Can students work 15 hours per week in Switzerland?


Yes, international students in Switzerland are generally allowed to work up to 15 hours per week during the academic semester. During semester breaks (holidays), students may work full-time.

Key Points:
- The 15-hour weekly limit applies to students from non-EU/EFTA countries. EU/EFTA students are also allowed to work up to 15 hours per week during term time.
- After completing six months of study, non-EU/EFTA students become eligible to take up part-time work.
- Work is permitted only if it does not interfere with your studies.
- During semester holidays, you can work up to 100% (full-time).
- You must inform the cantonal migration office, and your employer may need to secure a work permit for you.
