Citizens of EU and EFTA Member States resident in Switzerland   
Citizens of EU and EFTA Member States with a legitimate and actual residence in Switzerland are not regarded as non-residents, irrespective of the type of residence permit held. They possess the same rights for acquisition of real estate as Swiss nationals (known as national treatment). The purchase of a holiday home is also possible. The acquired real estate may be freely disposed of upon a change of domicile or upon leaving Switzerland. 
  
Citizens of EU and EFTA Member States not resident in Switzerland   
Citizens of EU and EFTA Member States holding Swiss residence permits, but not having their main place of residence in Switzerland, hold the same rights as Swiss nationals for the acquisition of real estate only in respect of pursuing an occupation (commercial premises). The purchase of second and holiday homes requires a permit. Canton Zug still recognises no reason to authorize acquisition of second and holiday homes.
