Good Criminal Defense Lawyers?
This has nothing to do with America vs Europe, and it's a bit silly to bring that up.
It's not just about being keyed up, it's about someone who knows the nuances of international law, electronic communications law, etc. Some of…
The bit that was wrong with the offshore loan setup was that you normally paid no tax at all, with the offshore loan company liquidating every year so writing off it’s outstanding loans and an identical v2 company then setting up to…
In which part of his post did Ace1 advise people to do anything illegal? He said that he used to filter all the time. He didn't say that he recommended that others do it too.
Saying that Ace1 was "advising people to do what is…
If you don't deregister in Germany you'll be resident in both countries. But then why would you tell the Germans that you are working in CH and paying tax there? Best to just be on zero income in Germany for the Germans. Unless you want to…
Hello Gymigirl,
I‘m taking the liberty of making a correction to your sentence (see CAPITALS)...I‘m only doing it because your English is so bl&&dy good, seriously impressed. But that meant that this little mistake stood…

Robot programming in Switzerland
No, they cannot. No one can pretend to "live" in the office But it looks similar here in the case of daily cross border commuters, who obtain permit G. In Switzerland it's you, as an EU citizen, who has to ask for the permit to legally…

Payroll cutoff question
If you trust her to repay, and since you say you have a good enough income, you could lend her the money she needs now, so as to help her not to do anything illegal or unethical or which will tarn her reputation.
Geeze, just put it through google translate.
"With the short-term residence permit EU / EFTA, you also enjoy professional and geographical mobility and are thus entitled to a job without a permit and a change of occupation within the…

No credit checks in Switzerland?
Court orders only work if someone can summon you to court. If they can't find your address, they are out of luck.
Tell that to the banks that my friend owes thousands to and managed to disappear. I have worked at several…

Tinder Confusion!
I think that the poster just invented a new, perfect word which may appear in the English dictionary:

I won't buy mine until there is a special Cumulus coupon in the Migros Magazine for 20 x points on them. :)
Though I hope it works at the self checkout.
I don't really want the attendant coming across and saying out loud, 'is that not…
The British embassy no longer provides this service and we were told to go to a notary when we needed one for my son’s naturalisation request.
He had a letter stating that he was single which he signed in the presence of the…
No, they don't. What high-tech equipment does a pro athlete have access to that you don't?

Solo Valentine!
The discrete/reserved culture point is valid, yeah...But on top, Scandinavia, back home and somewhat US, too, I think, believe in V Day being a celebration of love, not just couples who are in love, but in general, as well. So you think of…
Most WiFi routers operate in one of two modes: 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz. If you want to increase the range of your WiFi reception through barriers such as walls and floors, go into your router configuration settings and select 2.4GHz. The…

Best Intensive German Course
EB-Zurich also has some courses next to Bahnhof Altstetten. However, they don't always decide the location very far in advance.

Chiropractor
Thanks for the links, mgosia. Just for information, I never had a back/neck problem until recently, and it was actually my primary care doctor who recommended either anti-inflammatories or chiropracty. I discussed with him that I am wary…

The charge will only appear on the February statement. It is always charged at the end of the following month. On January's there was nothing because December 2018 was still free.

What kind of contribution to normality are you doing here, bs-ing about his mom in public and talking openly about his adoption? This all is accessible and public. Little more respect for the child and his parents would be nice.
