Many people who immigrated to Switzerland wish to return to their native country after some years and in particular once they have retired.
The return to one’s native country is however not always a free choice. Asylum applicants whose application is rejected have to leave Switzerland after the asylum procedure is completed. But other foreigners who are staying in Switzerland illegally may also be issued with a removal order.
