Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Thurgau?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Thurgau's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Thurgau's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
