Investment migration — the rule, as checked 24.09.2026

No property route

Switzerland has no property-based residence route; buying a home confers no immigration right. Under Lex Koller (1983) a buyer resident abroad may acquire only a holiday home in a designated tourist area, against a national ceiling of about 1,500 permits a year; a B-permit resident may buy a primary residence where they live. A draft revision published in April 2026 would tighten the law further.

This jurisdiction in the register

9 records, 9 with a published page. Each record carries the facts this rule turns on — entry price, seller, and where the rule distinguishes them, first sale, fractional sale, construction status, tenure — each dated and sourced.

The register publishes the rule and the facts; it does not say whether any purchase qualifies. Eligibility attaches to a sale, not to a building, and the register is not immigration counsel. All jurisdictions →
