No. Non-EU nationals, including Indian applicants, cannot work in Switzerland without securing a job offer from a Swiss employer. The employer must initiate the work permit process and justify hiring a non-EU candidate by demonstrating a lack of suitable local or EU applicants. Switzerland strictly regulates its labour market to maintain fairness and support local employment. While self-employment and entrepreneurship visas exist, they require substantial financial proof and business value to Switzerland. International students may work part-time during studies, but a full-time work permit after graduation still requires a valid job offer.
