Sorry for the confusing thing, but I do not like to talk openly about projects in a Forum...

Thanks

So how do you expect either us or the relevant authorities to give the right advice without knowing what you want to do?!?

Re: Non-EU Citizen married to EU Citizen

Sorry but I do not understand what it is the implication with Swiss Authorities and the forum... or are you part of the Swiss authority ?... and I said sorry for not be clear...

Is that a Swiss way of being to not be polite at all? only thinking of the wrong way all the time???

Re: Non-EU Citizen married to EU Citizen

Hello all,

I have a question regarding work visas in Switzerland. I am an American that is married to a German citizen and want to search for work in Zürich. The problem is that her job is in Germany for 2 more years and I want to immigrate their in advance. She will then join me after her contract terminates.

Am I even allowed to work there if my wife does not initially come with me? I understand that I have the same working rights as her here in Germany, but not sure about Switzerland. It is a little confusing and I have searched high and low for the answer. Any input would be most appreciated!

No. Not unless your wife moves with you or your potential employer goes through the hoops of getting a non-EU permit for you. You right to live in Switzerland is attached to your wife's right. You do not have any rights on your own. This is true of all countries signed up to the treaty.

Hello all :

Anybody knows if I will need an special entry Visa for Switzerland?

As I am not Non - EU citizen ...
Last year Swiss Embassy in London told me when I asked

"I don't need a visa to go to Switzerland why do I need to get this?"

They told me

"you don't need a visa to travel but you do need get this as you are going to settle there".

So I am sure you will also need to get a visa to move here to live.
