Hello, I am coming to Lugano to work as a nanny and I was wondering whether I would need a visa? I am from the UK.

Hi Jenny

Its a fairly easy process when you are british. Its not really a visa as such, just a work permit. All you need is an employment contract to get one.

Your employer will sort it out for you when you arrive (provided you have a legal contract). If not then just remember you are working black.

There have been a number of threads here where people have become unstuck, through illness or accident, and have not had valid work permits, insurance provided by employer etc etc.

Please make sure you are all legit.

Thank you both, I am coming for 1 months trial then if that goes well a 12 month contract, it is through an agency so I will ensure everthing is legit before I come.
