Provision of services (max. 90 days per year)
You must notify the authorities if you wish to provide a service in Switzerland for a maximum of 90 working days per calendar year.
Does the service that you wish to provide fall under the category of a regulated professional activity? Then you must complete the SERI declaration procedure.
In addition, before providing these services, you will need to notify the exact number of working days via the www.easygov.swiss portal. This notification is always required, even if your professional activity is not regulated. More detailed information can be found on the website of the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM): Notification procedure for short-term work in Switzerland

Legal basis for declaration procedure

Legal provisions stipulate the declaration requirements and specify the procedures for verifying professional qualifications.
