What application do I fill out to get an L permit? I am non-EU and I do not want to work and I want to stay less then 12 months. On the website of the swiss embassy it gives me a choice in applying for a visa, I can fill out the Visa D application or the Visa schengen application. There is no document on the website that tells me which one I shoudl fill out to obtain the L permit. I have searched and searched, the directions are just not there.
