Irish passport holders enter Switzerland freely under the EU-Switzerland bilateral agreements. No visa, no fee, no time limit on stays for EU/EFTA citizens. Ireland is not in the Schengen Area, so passport control applies on arrival. A valid Irish passport or Passport Card is sufficient.
For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local commune (Gemeinde/commune) within 14 days of arrival. EU citizens need an L permit (short-term, up to 1 year) or B permit (long-term, 5 years, renewable) depending on employment status. The permit fee varies by canton (CHF 50 to CHF 150). Bring proof of employment (a Swiss employment contract is the fastest path), self-employment authorization, or proof of sufficient funds (roughly CHF 21,000 per year) plus health insurance. Swiss health insurance (mandatory for all residents) starts at CHF 300 to CHF 500 per month depending on canton and deductible.
