What’s the most efficient way for a non-EU freelancer to obtain legal residency in Switzerland?

 I’ve read about different permits but the rules seem complex. Is there a resource that breaks down permit types, application steps, and regional differences clearly for someone considering long-term relocation?

I found Your Ultimate Guide to the Swiss Residence Permit: How to Live in Switzerland https://swisscompanyformation.com/articles/blog/your-ultimate-guide-to-the-swiss-residence-permit-how-to-live-in-switzerland/ super helpful. It explains the various permits (like B and L types), eligibility, and step-by-step application. The regional specifics were especially useful. It made the whole process way less confusing for planning my move.
