Ask HN: Using startups.ch to move to Switzerland. Non-EU citizens?
This is the procedure for European Union (EU) citizens. Does it work for non-EU citizens as well?
How much money do you need to have to show that you are not broke?

To my best knowledge, you need about 14.000€ for a year as a student, but this seems to depend on your location. But since you need at least 20.000 SFr to incorporate a GmbH (similar to Limited) anyway, this shouldn't be a big deal.
Things are generally a lot more difficult for non-EU citizens - they have a lot more trouble with a visa when they want to study. I think it's similar for work permits.
My advise: Ask startups.ch for info and check the information with a lawyer. Things will get very ugly otherwise, since getting a flat requires you to show that you have work, iirc.
