I have refugee status in Switzerland; may I be considered for employment with the United Nations?
- Refugees holding permits type B or S may be employed with the United Nations on all types of contracts. Holders of permits type S must renounce their refugee status before being recruited. After their separation from the organization, they can request to reinstate their refugee status and reapply for a permit S if they continue to live in Switzerland. Holders of permits type B do not have to renounce their status as their permits will be replaced by a carte de legitimation while working with an international organization.
- Refugees holding permits F may be recruited as non-staff members only (consultants or interns).
- Refugees holding permits N may not be recruited by the UN.
