Normally, this waiver also extends to other family members - regardless of their nationality.

Family members from third countries can receive a specific certificate showing that they are entitled to free movement. For Swiss citizens and their families, such certificate will take the form of a residence title.

More detailed information can be obtained from the immigration authorities.

Other registration or authorisation requirements that likewise apply to German nationals remain unaffected.
