Hi all

I joined about a year ago, but have not posted much, so please pardon my ignorance

Does anyone know how far you can live from Geneva and still be a frontallier?

thanks guys!

There was some discussion here:


Anyone really know Frontalier Zone for non EU for Geneva Canton ?

thank you!

Welcome!

If you're an EU citizen (of the original 15 countries, I believe) then there is no limit to how far you can live from the border (since 2007).

I live 400km from the border and had no problem obtaining a cross-border 'G' permit.

lux, that is fantastic news. thanks a lot

I should add that it is your Swiss employer who needs to apply to the Canton on your behalf, preferably before you actually start work.
Note that it is the canton (not the commune) that deals with 'G' permits.

Does anyone know the correct procedure/sequence if one is already working and residing in GE (B Permis held) and moves to France?
I presume the company must still apply for the 'Frontallier' permis?

Any other info/experience about this move would be welcome (taxes, healthcare, unemployment protection etc)
