I have just moved to Switzerland and will be living and working here for some time. My husband and 3 kids will remain in Portugal. Can you tell me whether or not I can receive child benefits from my Swiss employer for my 3 children even if they do not live in Switzerland?

Hi there,

Citizens of European Union member countries who work in Switzerland can receive Swiss child benefits for their children who live in a European Union member country. Citizens of European Free Trade Association member countries who work in Switzerland can receive child benefits for their children who live in a European Free Trade Association member country.

Citizens of the following countries can receive Swiss child benefits if they work in Switzerland, regardless of where in the world their children live:

Serbia
Montenegro
Bosnia and Herzegovina
