Looking for jobs abroad

Export of benefits

During your unemployment, you can go to another EU/EFTA country for up to three months to look for a new job. For this option, you must submit the «Antrag auf Leistungen bei Arbeitssuche im Ausland (PDF)»  (application for benefits while seeking a job abroad) to your job centre.

Comprehensive information is provided in the brochure entitled «Leistungen bei Arbeitssuche im Ausland (PDF)» (Benefits while seeking jobs abroad).

If you are planning to work in another European country, contact the EURES advisory office in your canton of residence. For further information, please visit www.eures.ch
