| | Mate allowed to help with DIY project
Hi, Is a best mate allowed to visit me in CH and then help for a few days in a DIY project without having a work permit.
Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the clarification. | | | | | Depending on passport working for up to 8? days doesn't not need anything, up to 90 requires registration .

I think the point is the friend won't be being paid so it depends on whether this is still counted as 'working'. My initial reaction would be sure do whatever you want.

Up to 8 days work in a year is fine https://blogs.deloitte.ch/tax/2016/0...ould-know.html | This user would like to thank fatmanfilms for this useful post: | |

Thanks for the clarification. | | | | | How nosy are your neighbors and how close to German border?
One acquaintance from Basel told me the neighbors called the police shortly after a plumber came to work to his flat. They called because of unmarked white van parked outside with D plates, noise coming from the flat therefore suspect of illegal work. The police came to check the permit of the plumber and everything legal. There shouldn't be a problem at all, just keep in mind sometimes innocence is not assumed, it has to be proved.

It does not matter whether the work is paid or not. And furthermore, insurance will also be an issue should anything go wrong.

If OP is lucky, best mate will have to quarantine = OP has to lock him in the room in question and mate has to do all the work alone. Is 10 days enough to get the work done?

| | Re: Mate allowed to help with DIY project | Quote: | |  | | | .. insurance will also be an issue should anything go wrong. | | | | | This. If he is on holiday and gets ill, the insurance of his country of residence should cover it. If, however, he is working and has an accident, the insurance of his home country may well decline any costs. Best to check this out, beforehand.
