Switzerland is now a country of immigrants, but it hasn't always been so. For centuries, it was the Swiss who left their country to find work and make their fortunes abroad. During the Renaissance, the Swiss were considered to be the best mercenaries in Europe, hence the famous Swiss Guards of the Vatican, who to this day wear the ceremonial uniforms designed for them by Michelangelo. Others, like Chevrolet, took the boat to places like America and Brazil to seek their fortune and make a name for themselves. But now Switzerland is a rich country and many people would like to immigrate here. In some cantons like Geneva, foreigners make up 30% of the population and that's not counting second generation immigrants. This situation has led to the introduction of laws and regulations that restrict immigration and make it particularly difficult to obtain Swiss citizenship. However, you should not be too concerned about this if you want to live in Switzerland. Swiss law favors educated professionals and the rich, and even provides incentives for them to live and set up businesses in Switzerland.
