Testimonials

“Given the complexities of working as a consultant in Switzerland as a foreigner, Diligo has been instrumental in facilitating both my legal and administrative needs, saving me the time and worry of having to manage this directly. Diligo was also extremely helpful in advising me on the legalities of working as a consultant for the UN, and other international and Swiss organizations, to ensure that I could remain on a C permit, and were happy to communicate with these organizations on my behalf, no matter how time-consuming. If you are looking for a personalized and professional service, I can highly recommend Diligo.”
