| I will be moving to Zurick to be with my partner of two years and he has a job paying about 85000 francs....would this be regarded as enough to support the two of us as I have to get my self employed music teaching and playing career off the ground...I have read that my partner can vouch for me and say that he will support me and I may possibly have to show that I have a healthy bank account in order to support myself as I try to build up my income...Any feed back is appreciated....we hope to start a family in Zurick and I wonder are there any other problems to be aware of....Both of us are eu citizens///Irish and German. | |

Hi
From the tons of material we have read so far you have the right for "Familienzusammenfuehrung" or "-nachholung" which means that EU citizens can have their first degree family accompany them or they could follow a bit later (but I think within 5 years). That includes, parents, children, spouse (legally married).
I don't know what happens if you're "only" girlfriend and boyfriend. Maybe call the Zurich Immigrationamt they have been quite friendly so far on the telephone to us (but I do have to add that I speak German and therefore I don't know whether their staff all speak English)
Get the book "living and working in switzerland". It's full of useful stuff. Or go to the websites other people have recommended
www.bfm.admin.ch etc
GOOD LUCK
