Hi I wonder if you can help or point me in the right direction to a previous post as i've been looking for an hour and cant find what i need.
I am from the uk married to a german and living here in the valais.
I have a b permit and just wondered if i could work self employed teaching dance?
Thanks for your help
Becky

If you already have a B permit and it authorises gainful employment (activité lucrative) then you can but you may need a commercial licence from your commune to operate a business.

Hi Nev,
I have my permit in front of me and can't find those words on it? am looking at my husbands (who does work here) and the only difference is the zemis nr. and the letters FZA after grossbritannien?
I will make a trip to the commune too hopefully it will be allowed
Thankyou for you help

That's why we made it sticky...

Thankyou Shorrick,
I did see that and even the link to the one about working as an independant it just seemed to be more about running a 'company' and this is not what i needed I just want to run a dance class once or twice a week and i wasnt sure if it is written on my permit somewhere that i could be self employed. Now you have noticed my post hopefully I can be so bold to ask you something else .... i noticed the bit you wrote about being a sole trader (which i guess that I would be) and wondered about the difficulties you said that would be incountered if i was contracted ie if hotels were to contract me for 12 months or so.

Sorry, because your B permit will be in German not French. Any employment restriction will appear under the section headed "Aufenthaltszweck/But du séjour/scopo del soggiomo" which can be found
at the bottom of the page opposite your photo, just under your address.

wow thankyou so much
ok mine says familiennachzug. berechtigt zur erwerbstatigkeit
so that means I came with my husband and i am able to work yippeee thankyou so much so just to be clear i can work self employed?? but i have to get permission from the commune?
Nev thankyou soo so much

If you're an EU-15 national you can do whatever you pretty please (which is the essence of the sticky...)

Not to work. Maybe just to operate a commercial enterprise. That you'll have to check with your gemeinde. It may not be necessary to run a dance class.

Thankyou so much fingers crossed i can get this off the ground
Thankyou again

What happens if the B permit holder is from a non EU country? Can this person still form a Sole Trader company?
