| I have a new job near Zurich and the company sponsored or at least arranged for the permit. It is a 12 month short stay but when I got my passport back the visa inside is only good for two months... anyone know if there is a reason? If work needs me to be in country longer can it be extended? thanks | |

I applied for a 6 month student visa and received a visa in my passport for only 3 months. I was told that the residence permit is what allows you to stay longer. Try the cantonal office?
