Key Points
Switzerland and the United Kingdom have extended their Services Mobility Agreement until 31 December 2025
Overview
The government of Switzerland has extended the Services Mobility Agreement (SMA) with the United Kingdom until 31 December 2025.
The SMA was introduced as a means of easing access for service providers between the UK and Switzerland following the end of the free movement of persons and the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.
This change will allow Switzerland to continue to permit UK professionals to provide a service in Switzerland for a maximum period of 90 days per calendar year without requiring a visa so long as the professional notifies the government of Switzerland. For additional insight, check here.
