| Let me see, I do own property and have a SARL business in France, and also have earned income which has exceeds the limit for tax at source here, so can tell you the information is all out there, and relatively straight forward really, you just need to look in the right place. I'll give you a clue though, it isn't here.
You however want to have your cake and eat it... which rarely works, good luck with your hunt. | |

@Papa Goose -- Your post is such a clear and thoughtful response
As there is a permit G for non-EU citizens mentioned on the Geneva canton website, I don't think my questions about this type of permit are out of place on a work permit forum.
On your profile it says you are English, and I am from a non-EU country - so your particular situation (which you made so unclear) has very little to do with mine as you get special rights in Switzerland that I do not. So, you are getting your cake and eating it too as far as I am concerned - enjoy.
@Marton, I don't read German and honestly don't know what it would have to do with the Canton of Geneva which makes it's own rules about the zone that is valid to live in France for a non EU citizen to get a Frontalier permit. Germans are EU nationals and again, have more rights than I do and have a very different more free situation now.
I have lived for a large number of years where I live now in France, have a life established here etc. - I am not going to randomly find an apartment in some other town and then only AFTERWARDS see if it is in a zone that would let me work in Geneva and then find out in fact that even after living in the 'right zone' they STILL won't give me a permit for some other reason they will make up. It would cost me a lot of time and money for nothing.
This is why I am hoping to hear from someone who is a NON EU NATIONAL who has applied for this type of permit recently and what is their experience. If they are not giving out any non-EU Frontalier permits anymore due to the economic situation in Switzerland, then it would be good to know up front.
I have looked at French Frontalier sites for French workers in Switzerland quite a lot (back when I thought I was getting the job at the bank these were quite helpful in telling me about my choices for health care, how to stay on the French system, unemployment rights, retirement benefits etc.).
But, I have yet to find specific information on non EU citizens who work as Frontaliers in Switzerland. Maybe it is only a Swiss work permit category in name and not in practice ???
