Currently, the Embassy of Switzerland in Uzbekistan does not offer any internships.

Warning: Fraud documents / False job offers

The Embassy has been made aware of scam practices, including false job offers and fake work permits to Switzerland, aiming at depriving money from Uzbek citizens looking for jobs abroad.

To protect yourself from falling victim:

Be aware that generally, job opportunities in Switzerland for foreign nationals are highly limited. Work opportunities for non-EU/EFTA nationals only exist in high-skilled professions, for highly qualified workforce (university degree, several years of work experience in a high-skilled profession). If you receive a job offer, be very cautious in verifying its authenticity.
The procedure for work permits to Switzerland generally doesn’t involve intermediairies such as agencies. Be wary of anyone pretending to be an intermediary or a local/regional representative of a company.
Make sure you are in direct touch with the potential employer in Switzerland to verify the authenticity of the job offer. Be aware that fraudsters will pretend to be company representatives and may fake documents in the name of the company. Verify therefore, by using various sources, that you indeed are directly communicating with the company in Switzerland.
Never pay or transfer any money! Should the work offer be authentic, it is the employer who is responsible for obtaining the work permit and will cover costs incurred.
Should you believe a work offer is authentic, you will have to personally apply for a respective visa at the Consular Center in Moscow. We advise to do so as early as possible, to further minimize the risk of falling victim to illegal practices: moscow.visa@eda.admin.ch
In case you have become victim of such a crime or believe you have been contacted by a fraudster, we strongly advise you to report this to the local police.
