UK reaches business travel deal with Switzerland

London, Dec 4 (Sputnik) The United Kingdom and Switzerland have agreed on a new service mobility agreement that will allow UK professionals and service workers travel freely and stay in the other country without visa for a period of time, London announced Friday.
"The UK and Switzerland have secured a far-reaching agreement on services that maintains high quality access for UK service suppliers to the Swiss market. The UK-Switzerland Services Mobility Agreement will allow UK professionals and other service workers to continue travelling freely to Switzerland and work visa-free for up to 90 days a year," the UK Department of International Trade said in a statement.
The deal is said to be supporting all key areas of the UK economy, such as finance, the tech sector and creative industries.
"The agreement builds on the existing UK-Switzerland trade deal and will enter into force from 1 January 2021," the government added.
After the UK officially left the EU on January 31 it has been working to secure various bilateral economy-related deals with various countries amid a transition period, which will end on December 31.
