The Services Mobility Agreement (SMA) between the UK and Switzerland has been extended until December 31, 2025. This agreement, which came into effect on January 1, 2021, facilitates cross-border services for providers from the UK in Switzerland, including business consultants, IT experts, and engineers, helping to mitigate the immediate impacts of Brexit.

Key details include:

• UK-based service providers can send employees to Switzerland for up to 90 days per calendar year through an online notification procedure.
• For services exceeding 90 days, a Swiss work permit is required.
• Since 2021, over 4,000 UK service providers have utilized this procedure for the Swiss market.

The SMA is part of a broader effort to ease workforce mobility post-Brexit, with local hires in Switzerland governed by Swiss labor laws.
