| I think the whole EC system has changed, so I presume that you have a decent limit. I had a B permit in the beginning (my company tried to give me an L, but being forewarned I made a scene until they applied for a B) and Credit Suisse would only give me 100 francs/month on my EC - even though I worked for them! | |

You are quite right the whole EC system has changed and for the better. You can now have limits in CH of 10K per month and 2K per transaction. Also the 10K can be outside the country. Directly from the bank it is only limited by common sense ie 10K per transaction unless you let them know in advance.

| I'm glad to hear that L permit holders are no longer the scum of the Earth, mind you - you are an EU citizen, I wonder if non-EU L permit holders are having an easy time of it? Comments anyone? | |

Well actually a non-EU L Permit is what you used to know Mark with no changes other than there is a quota on them and this is bundled with B permits for non-EU people unless they stay less than 4 months...

| If it doesn't make any difference anymore then why do companies always ask foreigners to state their type of permit on application forms if for no other purpose than to discriminate? | |

Well actually that is because it does make a difference if you are not from the EU...
Another interesting thing is coming back from Germany once I got quizzed on the train by the border control (moving Swiss version) and there was a black guy opposite me that got away without a whisper. That said he was daft enough to get off at Basel Badische Bhf so had to go through the customs again and this time there was no escape!!
