Welcome Guide for newcomers

The Office of Migrant Integration and Racism Prevention has produced a welcome guide aimed to help newcomers to familiarize themselves with life in Fribourg and Switzerland.

You will find in this welcome practical guide useful information on arrival procedures, accommodation, employment, health and school/university education, and advice on social and community activities. This guide is easily available in ten different langages at your "Administration communale" or "Gemeindeverwaltung" or you may contact us for a free copy.
