| Thanks Swissbob and Shorrrock Mk2 (I dread to ask to what happend to Mark 1) I'll give as much details as I can.
I am a UK national with a full UK passport previously living in Italy.
My partner is Italian with Italian passport. We are not married nor 'legally' joined (ie no pax) but we've been together 7 years.
She has full-time contract here in Geneva with Medicins Sans Frontiers. She has a work permit connected to this contract.
Her residence permit is in process and her office cannot unfortunately tell her what kind will be issued (is that normal) I imagine it will be a temporary one for the year.
I use to work for the UN but now considering doing occasional consultancies.
That is about as much as I know at the moment.
Then I would like to get residency - but what kind and how - and then the issues of tax, health insurance would arise.
Thanks for your help on this. I hope its enough info, if not I'll gladly go and find more.
Best
BK! | |

Since you are an EU national the status of your partner is pretty much irrelevant (but she should get an EU permit as well. Note the MSF is not an IO in the generally accepted sense of the term).
You can therefore freely set yourself up as an independent (see brilliant thread by Richard for more info on this) and enjoy consultancy work.
Health insurance - you will have to get insured by a Swiss company.
Which is pretty much repeating what the sticky says...
