Can my spouse and children get a permit through my Swiss C permit?

Family members can join a settled foreign national through family reunification. If the application is accepted, family members receive a residence permit, and the type they get generally depends on the status of the sponsoring relative. Applicants for family reunification and for residence or settlement permits must also prove knowledge of a national language at the required level, which follows a phased oral/written model. Conditions and timeframes differ for EU/EFTA versus third-country family members.
