permits


France and Switzerland

All international civil servants and their family members receive permits. French permits for CERN staff are called "titres de séjour spéciaux”, or "titres de séjour" for family members. In Switzerland they are called "cartes de légitimation". If you are a CERN staff member, these cards constitute your residence AND work permits. For your family members, they are residence permits only.

Application forms for both types of cards for you and your family members will be given to you by a representative from the CERN Human Resources Department. To see the documents required by the Swiss and French authorities when issuing these cards, please check:
  • CERN Cards Service for forms and procedure (NICE account required)
    Building 33, Office 1-015 - Tel: +41 22 / 767 94 94 or 767 29 67 - (internal:  79494 or 72967)

  • CERN Welcome Brochure describes the process

Work Permits for Your Family

For family members different regulations governing work and residence permits apply.
  • Please refer to the CERN Admin e-guide on Work permits for family members.
