| My fiance and I were told the same thing... I am Non-EU, and I submitted all the documents for family reunification, so currently waiting for the visa. However, my fiance was told that I wouldn't need a visa to enter the country from an official there, which has me more than a bit confused. Every official site that I've read says a visa is needed, and even the Embassy told me this.  | |

And they are right, you need the Type D visa.
It says so clearly here:
Entry and stay formalities
In order to obtain a residence permit, family members must present the following documents:
o a valid identity card or passport;
o
a visa (for non EU/EFTA citizens who are subject to a visa requirement in order to enter Switzerland);
o a certificate issued by the authorities of the country of origin confirming that the person is a family member of the EU/EFTA citizen living in Switzerland;
o for persons (relatives in the ascending and descending lines, e.g. parents, grandparents, children) who will be receiving support from the EU/EFTA citizen, a certificate issued by the authorities of the country of origin confirming that an EU/EFTA citizen living in Switzerland has agreed to provide support for the person or that the person will live in the same house as the said EU/EFTA citizen.
