Hi everyone,

Before you ask, I have looked at the other threads but can't find the answer to my questions. Feel free to locate me to the right threads

I'm from the UK, living and working in Switzerland for one year. I registered at the Stadthaus in my town a few weeks ago, they have given me three months to sort out my health insurance- will I only get my work permit once I have given them proof of my health insurance? So far they have sent me my Versicherungsausweis.

And how long does it take to get health insurance once you have applied?

Also- I opened a bank account with Raiffeisen, does anyone know about getting a credit card with them? I'll be getting paid from my job later than I thought so in need of money, for example to pay for my health insurance.

Hope you can help!

Thanks in advance

For starters.

Swiss Credit Cards
Obtaining credit cards/establshing credit?
EU Permits - A few bullet points

You've been living and working here for one year without registering, getting a permit or health insurance?

You are potentially already in a world of trouble.

Haha, no, I'm going to be working and living here for one year :P

Thanks for the links...
