Federal Act
on the Acquisition of Immovable Property
in Switzerland by Foreign Non-Residents
(ANRA)

¹ Un­less the land re­gis­trar can ex­clude au­thor­isa­tion im­me­di­ately, he or she shall sus­pend the pro­ced­ure and al­low the ac­quirer 30 days with­in which to ob­tain au­thor­isa­tion or the de­clar­a­tion that no au­thor­isa­tion is re­quired; he shall re­ject the ap­plic­a­tion if the ac­quirer fails to meet this dead­line or au­thor­isa­tion is re­fused.

² The com­mer­cial re­gis­trar shall pro­ceed in the same way as the land re­gis­trar; he or she shall however in every case refer a leg­al en­tity or busi­ness without leg­al per­son­al­ity but cap­able of own­ing as­sets which moves its re­gistered of­fice from Switzer­land to an­oth­er coun­try to the au­thor­isa­tion au­thor­ity be­fore its de­le­tion from the re­gister.

³ A rul­ing by the land re­gis­trar or the com­mer­cial re­gis­trar re­ject­ing the ap­plic­a­tion is sub­ject to an ap­peal to can­ton­al court of ap­peal that is com­pet­ent un­der this Act; this ap­peal takes the place of an ap­peal to the su­per­vis­ory au­thor­ity for the land re­gister or com­mer­cial re­gister.
