Work rights & registration
Start with nationality, length of stay and the exact country. Freedom of movement simplifies work for EU citizens, but local registration duties still matter.
Austria
EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can enter and work without a residence title. Register your address within three days; for stays over three months, request the Anmeldebescheinigung within four months of entry.
Germany
EU, EEA and Swiss citizens can work without a visa or work permit. Other nationalities normally need a residence title that permits employment before starting.
Netherlands
EU, EEA and Swiss nationals may live and work without a work permit. Arrange the local registrations needed for tax, payroll, insurance and a longer stay.
Switzerland
EU/EFTA citizens benefit from freedom of movement. Employment up to three months normally uses the notification procedure; longer jobs require registration and a residence permit before work begins.
Non-EU nationals
Do not assume that one European permit covers all four countries. Check the national immigration authority and secure the correct work authorisation before accepting travel or housing costs.
