The foreign population in Switzerland over the period from 1980 to 2018. The ranking is based on the following factors: All persons who are resident in Switzerland but do not hold Swiss citizenship and have a total period of residence or a residence permit of at least twelve months, as well as international officials, diplomats and their family members.
Italians, Balkan citizens, Germans and Portuguese make up the majority of foreigners in Switzerland. In the 1990s, many Tamils fled to Switzerland due to the civil war in Sri Lanka. After the Asylum Appeal Commission decided that desertion or refusal by the Eritrean national service was in itself a reason for asylum, the number of Eritrean asylum applications rose sharply in 2006.
