Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups.

*As of 2019, resident foreigners make up 25.2% of the population, one of the largest proportions in the developed world. Most of these (64%) were from European Union or EFTA countries. '''Italians''' were the largest single group of foreigners, with 15.6% of total foreign population, followed closely by '''Germans''' (15.2%), immigrants from '''Portugal''' (12.7%), '''France''' (5.6%), '''Serbia''' (5.3%), '''Turkey''' (3.8%), '''Spain''' (3.7%), and '''Austria''' (2%). Immigrants from Sri Lanka, most of them former Tamil refugees, were the largest group among people of Asian origin (6.3%).

*Additionally, the figures from 2012 show that 34.7% of the permanent resident population aged 15 or over in Switzerland (around 2.33 million), had an '''immigrant background'''. A third of this population (853,000) held Swiss citizenship. Four fifths of persons with an immigration background were themselves immigrants (first generation foreigners and native-born and naturalized Swiss citizens), whereas one fifth were born in Switzerland (second generation foreigners and native-born and naturalized Swiss citizens).<ref>"Switzerland", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland, accessed 8 June 2021.</ref>
