Some of the expulsions were only recorded at the end of 2024 and therefore had to be enforced during the course of the year. As a result, the enforcement rate for 2024 rose from 63% to 69% by mid-2025.
The State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) went on to say that this rate will continue to rise as further executions are planned. In comparison: in mid-2024, the rate of enforced expulsions for 2023 was 73%.
80% of all people who were expelled from the country last year left Switzerland under duress. 20 percent of those affected left independently. 40 percent of these people are nationals of EU/EFTA states, 60 percent come from a third country.
The vast majority of them are 25 to 34-year-old men. Albanian nationals were the most frequently expelled from the country, with Romanian and Algerian nationals the second and third most frequently expelled.
