Hi,

I've been reading through the old threads but I can't seem to find much to answer my questions. I'm a UK student about to start studying at the EHL in September for 2 years and staying on a tourist visa in the meanwhile. I would like to apply for my permis de séjour now (mainly because I would like to get a phone contract - which you apparently need a permit to do) but I'm unsure of what to do.

I don't know what permit to apply for and if there is even an option. My boyfriend is a C-permit holder currently going through naturalisation and if all goes well I would like to stay in Switzerland with him after the course. Is there a permit I can get as a student that would count towards the years I'd have to spend in Switzerland before I can apply for citizenship? And does anyone know what permit (student or maybe work) I would get as an EHL student as we have to do stages as part of the course?

Thanks for your help,

xx

Why not get your bf to get the phone contract for you?? You'll also be able to see how much he loves you...

I would suggest that you contact EHL and ask them. They have students from over 90 countries (Overview) and surely know everything about permits for foreign students.

Lol he offered but I'm under 26 and he's older so we wouldn't be able to get the special youth contract.

I have contacted them but they can take a very long time to reply and they seem quite keen on everyone registering the 1st day in September. I have a lettre d'attestation so in theory I should be able to go to the authorities already... shouldn't I?
