Re: Work Permit Type B

Quote:
Hi there, I hold a B permit and I'm not from an EU country. I've had no problems changing jobs and moving homes from one canton to the next. Never had to reapply for any permits, the only thing I had to do was register and de-register at the Gemeindes. I was told by a recruitment agent that most B-permits are transferably after two years. But it's best to get one to check for you, they just need your number. It's certainly possible. I've never had any questions asked. ~ Nanda.
Sounds like you've had a pretty easy run. I changed jobs in 2001 before non-EU people had a tougher time (I do have an EU passport though). It wasn't easy, and I pointed out to the person responsible that the company I had worked for had gone bankrupt. The reality was that I had resigned a couple of months before that, but I didn't stress that point. In my case it was granted. The new job was also in canton Zurich.

To the original poster - I'm moving this thread to Help & Tips. Since you asked a direct question asking for help - this would seem like the most logical place where it belongs.
