What is status "S"?
Under Swiss immigration law, the status S, a temporary resident status, is granted to people with extenuating circumstances, such as refugees arriving in times of war. On February 28, 2022, the Swiss authorities decided to grant this status to Ukrainian refugees arriving in Switzerland. It is very important to understand that the status S allows for considerable flexibility and offers some significant advantages over the standard asylum procedure.
Detailed information about the Status as well as the rights it gives from the website of the State secretariat for migration.
