| UK citizen residing in zurich with L-Permit boyfriend - Permit question
Hello English forumites... I'd be really grateful if anyone has any advice on the below subject  My boyfriend and I currently reside in Switzerland as of 11 days ago, which is very exciting. He is a working Australian with an L Permit, awaiting C permit when he is officially obtains his UK citizenship in a few months. He works for swiss company who've obtained the correct permits for him to stay. I am an UK citizen hoping to work self employed in Zurich as a Naturopathic Nutritionist. A Swiss resident company told me, in my situation I have 4 options:- - I can either try and gain employment in Switzerland with a Swiss company who can arrange a C-Permit
- Become a Student to obtain a permit
- Get married - Obtain a permit for 5 years
- Write a letter to the specific Canton with a 'just cause' case, explaining that my partner would like me to remain in Switzerland with him and he can provide/support for me whilst residing in Switzerland, to then obtain a Permit C
I will try option 1 to start with, working with the Expat community would be ideal, searching for a nutrition based companies in and around Zurich would be helpful, if anyone has any ideas please let me know. I also wondered does anyone have any knowledge of this 'just cause' letter to have your partner remain in Zurich, perhaps you've been through that stage, failed or exceed, or have any advice it generally would be hugely appreciated. Thanking you in advance Beth  |
