UK/Switzerland treaty on Citizens’ Rights signed 25 February 2019
On 25 February 2019, an agreement on “citizens’ rights” was signed by the governments of the United Kingdom and Switzerland. This agreement maintains continuity of rights and benefits for UK expatriates living in Switzerland whether or not there is a deal between UK and the EU. The Swiss Government is working to ensure that the details of the agreement are known at canton and local level throughout Switzerland. If you do experience local difficulty and cannot contact the Embassy, please let myself or the Secretary know so that we can pass the message on. Details of the agreement can be found at Swiss citizens’ rights agreement and Swiss Explainer.

“The BRA NEEDS YOU to do your bit”
“The BRA NEEDS YOU to do your bit” At the 2017 AGM there was a discussion as to the merits of offering one year’s free membership to those members who successfully introduced a new BRA member. Your Council has decided to continue this incentive until December 2018. WE NEED NEW MEMBERS. Go out into the valleys, rolling meadows, towns, villages, and uplands of Switzerland and seek new members. The BRA will not survive without new ” blood “. Don’t rely on your Council. You must play your part too, so as to ensure that the BRA prospers for the foreseeable future. Succeed, and your 2019 annual subscription will be ZERO. Lord Kitchener in World War One said ” Your country needs you “. Similarly, the BRA needs you to do your ” bit ” so that it can survive and flourish.
