Hello there,

I thought that would toss this into the Forum ring as this is an interesting question I think.... If a spouse of a B-EU holder is not living in CH, but staying in her homeland (in this case Germany), does she not need to be registered for a permit regardless, due to the fact that she is a spouse of a CH permit holder? at the moment it is a distance marriage as both have great jobs and are not willing to change for the moment. They exchange weekend "visiting" rights but she is never here more than a week. She pays her taxes in Germany, and they keep a residence there that they own as well. He rents here. He is registered as a single for the moment as he had friends recommend this for tax reasons, which is how all of this came up over coffee!

Interesting to hear your thoughts on this...

Cheers

Fiona
