Thanks for being a part of this forum.
I've seen some amazing answers in here, so I'll try as well.
I recently moved to Zurich, and I'm about to register and apply for a B Permit.
However, I'm in doubt about the correct way to do this.
I am an EU Citizen.
I'm a freelance consultant, and I'm currently working through my Danish company.
My plan is to create a sole proprietorship in Zurich and move my client(s) with me here.
But I receive conflicting information about applying for the B Permit.
It says that I need a work contract of 12 months or more.
I don't have that, given that I'm Self-Employed.
In another place, it says that in order to get a B permit as a Self-Employed, I'll need to prove that I've registered my company properly, with a Swiss business address, etc.
I specifically find this checklist:
- Proof that the company has been correctly registered (in the commercial register, see section on investing in Switzerland, how to start a business)
- Proof of a professional domicile in Switzerland (a rental contract for your business premises)
- Proof of contributions to the Old-Age and Survivors’ Insurance Fund (OASI) or the Swiss Accident Insurance Fund (SUVA)
- Proof of a regular income showing that there is no risk of needing welfare assistance
- Bookkeeping data (interim balance, etc.)
- Business plan
I'm currently in 10 days mandatory quarantine, and I'll go to the registration office on next Wednesday to get there within 14 days.
It seems overwhelming to have all this covered until then.
Can one obtain a B permit without having the full setup ready yet?
How to go about here?
Does anyone here happen to have done this recently?
