You must apply to bring your family here by a specific deadline. The deadline is shorter for children than for adults (e.g. spouses).
Family reunification
Bringing families together
In principle, it is possible for family members (direct relatives or spouses) of persons living here to move to Switzerland. The applicant's nationality and residence status determine which family members they can apply to bring over. It is imperative that they live together in the same household. The Office for Population and Migration can provide information on the required documents and the procedure to follow.
