The information from Parkadam is interesting, are you saying you did not approach the Swiss consulate, also did you not contact the MigrationsAmt?

Did you arrive at the same time as your wife? It seems to make a difference whether you arrive at the same time or separately, I could not understand why this would be, but another post from a few years ago seems to say this is the case.

If that`s the case, Does it work if the person who is already in Switzerland goes out to meet their spouse and re-enters the country together?
