Swiss secondment notifications: Changeover to the notification portal
06/03/2025 00:00

The existing application for reporting short stays will no longer be available as of March 14, 2025.

From March 17, 2025, notifications must be made exclusively via the EasyGov portal.

The ÖVKG can continue to report its customers. A UID number and activation are required. Your ÖVKG contact person will be happy to help you coordinate the necessary steps.

For postings to Switzerland that are already planned, it is recommended that the declarations be ordered in the ÖVKG portal by March 13, 2025 so that they can still be carried out in the previous system.
