Hi,

I am currently working and living in Zurich, have Permit C (Australian citizen, 7 years here , got C earlier due to that new integration law)

Would like to move to Pfäffikon for tax reasons. Does anyone know how difficult and cumbersome it is to change Permit C from one canton to another? Do I have to go through the whole application process again? Are they likely to refuse? I did call Migrationsamt in SChwyz, but they can only talk to me next Tuesday! And in my experience the information one gets from those offices is not very reliable. Would be great to hear of first hand experinces!

Many thanks in adavance, guys!

Can you tell me more info about this new integration law. I was told I couldn't apply for a c-permit last Dec since being Australian I need to be here 10 years or married to someone who has had a c-permit for 5 years.

I don't believe there are any restrictions on canton for c permit holders.

I found the laws online and I am going to apply for my C Permit this week :-) Thanks

Deregister from current place, register in new place. That's it.

I dont seem to be able to find the original memorandum , but if you google

vorzeitige Erteilung Niederlassungsbewilligung

you will see that different cantons describe the procedure

You need to collect a pile of documents, it worked for me within a month or two

Good luck!

wow, that sounds encouraging! Have you done it before? You see I was worried also because I have this funny early permit...

Only problem that might arise from changing cantons is if you're interested in obtaining Swiss citizenship one day. You may be required to wait an additional year or two before being allowed to apply, check the canton you're planning to move to about their rules.

yes, thanks, I checked that. Schwyz has 5 years min requirement, so if I move now - I should have almost no delays. Some cantons have 12 years!

That's five years in that canton, isn't it?
Someone posted a link to a list that specified the time requirements. Does anyone have that list / link?

38 seconds on BfM gives me this:

Five years in the canton.

<cough>NW 12 Jahre, 3 Jahre in der Gemeinde</cough>

interestingly, SZ is the only canton with i.d.R. (in der Regel) which means it is not fixed that it must be 5 years. I feel an interesting experiment coming on

thats right, so 7 years in zh plus 5 years in sz is 12 years

Is Pfaeeffichherreheae not in SZ?

"some cantons have 12 years" was the bit I was addressing; your answer was unspecific so I though I'd give some clarification

And Pfaeeffichherreheae sounds like something that'd make your bum itch!

Hi I'm actually in the process of getting my CH pass now, although i'm on the accelerated path due to being married to a Swiss.

I live in ZH and am seriously thinking of moving to SZ, will I also have problems here? I don't really want to wait another 5 years.......
However the docuementation that i've received seem to suggest that this is a bund thing, and not cantonal.

Thanks.

Facilitated naturalisation is handled at a Federal level. Cantonal requirements don't apply in that respect.

Hi Thanks for that, it was faster than I expected, as i've just opened a thread on the subject (because i couldn't find a clear answer!)

Cheers,

Phil.
