| Sorry but your policy does not meet Swiss requirements and you are in an illegal situation. I’ve explained in my previous posting why you can’t use your national insurer. Should this come to light you could be required to pay for a proper policy back dated to your entry into the country with, perhaps, a 3 month allowance.

You are incorrect in saying the VHI Global does not meet Swiss requirements. VHI Global is NOT travel insurance, it is health insurance 'for Irish residents who are living or working abroad for more than 6 months but intend to return to Ireland to resume residency at a future date'.
I spoke with the Zurich city authorities and they are satisfied with this cover. The main point which they emphasised was that I am resident here on an internal transfer from my company and the expectation is that I will return to Ireland. This may be different to others situations.
