Hi My name is Curt, from South Africa.

My fiance' and i have been together for over 5 years but in a long distance relationship but she moved down from Switzerland last Year to be with me in South Africa.

We are looking to move to switzerland together soon, we plan on getting married in South Africa in a few months. How would i go about obtaining a permit for me to be able to stay with her in Switzerland and to be able to work. Could i obtain the permit while im in South Africa or would i have to contact Switzerland?

Please if you can give me a couple of suggestions and what all id have to do to obtain a residence permit / and do i still need a Visa or not?

Please help - Thank YOU!
