Yes. For non-EU/EFTA sponsors, time limits apply — reunification must usually be requested within a set period after the family relationship arises or the sponsor obtains their permit, with shorter limits for older children.
Switzerland sets deadlines for reunification, especially for third-country nationals, to encourage families to reunite and integrate early. Applications must be filed within statutory time limits running from when the right arises, and shorter deadlines apply to children above a certain age.
Missing these deadlines can mean reunification is only possible later on stricter grounds. Because the exact periods and exceptions depend on the sponsor's permit type and the relationship, it is wise to apply as early as possible rather than wait.
