Hi the auto entrepreneur seems designed for merchants over the internet or selling items they make at home. They have a limit 80,300€ per year. However, the limit on service providers is 32,000 € ... not terribly attractive, frankly.

"Pour des prestations de services, l'auto-entrepreneurs ne doit pas dépasser un CA de 32 100€"

I mentioned something similar to this in an e-mail last week to them, but no response from them so far, as I think they need to move on after trying to fill this position with me since September/October. My suggestion was for them to hire me in France and request to transfer me internally from France to Switzerland rather than the quasi-legal thing you are mentioning. They 100% need in the office there all the time, as that is where the servers are, and there are laws against connecting to them from outside Switzerland via a network for example. So I doubt they have any role for me to work at in France in the meantime, as all their IT is centralized in Geneva.

Truly I am most interested in finding out if anyone knows the Frontalier zone communes in France for the Geneva area and of any recent experience of non-EU citizens getting (or not) the G permit. I have kind of given up on getting this particular job and am looking down the line towards the future, and setting myself up better so the same denial cannot happen again if I find another offer in Switzerland.

And secondly does anyone knows if I declare myself as Travailleur Independent in France (ie the dead simple sole proprietorship not Ltd or incorporated) (which I do not want to do without knowing that I can make money at it as it has all kinds of tax ramifications and health care re-registration paperwork nightmares associated) am I still looked at as 'non EU' even though my sole proprietorship is in fact fully in the French system.
