Hi, thanks for the reply. I have been searching "search button" for months now and just can't seem to find the answers relating to my situation, that is why I have asked this question on the forum. I have read the bullet points and it states that he can be issued a permit for 6 months until he finds employment....and all permits seem to be issued via a working contract. I have read in posts and on internet that because he is EU he can live here for 3 months without a permit...but that is not my question....he needs a residence permit to prove to the authorities in Holland that he is living in Switzerland....can he get a permit immediately once he has signed into our commune......Although I have been living here for 10 years my skill in French is....ummm...lets just say "bad" and as for german, well just non existant. No knocking me on my language thingie pls....it has it's reasons

.
I can't find anything that explaines if he can get a residence permit right from the start.
Thanks again
