How Do I Open A New Business (travel Agency) In Geneva Switzerland?

First and most important: You must either have Swiss citizenship or permanent residency for Switzerland (Permit C). The latter is only granted after having lived here several years with another permit (L or B, I believe it’s called). Afterwards, rent an office/store and do as you like. No other permits needed for businesses like a travel agency. However, I wouldn’t really recommend to open up one, the market is dried out, there is little to no chance to make any money with such a business. I speak from own experience, I have been part of the board of a leading Swiss tour operator.
