Which citizenship, status or regional agreement creates the person's right to move/reside?

EU/EFTA citizenship under the free movement of persons: the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons applies to any national of an EU or EFTA state, and thanks to freedom of movement EU/EFTA citizens can work in Switzerland; EU/EFTA cross-border commuters are EU/EFTA nationals who reside in an EU/EFTA member state and work in Switzerland (employed or self-employed).

Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?

The basis is self-employed cross-border commuter status: a person domiciled in an EU/EFTA state and working in Switzerland (company headquarters in Switzerland) may apply for a cross-border commuter permit; they must return to their main residence abroad as a rule every day, or at least once a week, and may live anywhere in the EU/EFTA region and work anywhere in Switzerland.
