Dear members,

I have a rather unpleasant situation. I am in Switzerland for a few years now and I own a home here and usually, my permit renewal happens in a day or so.
This time around I changed my job and took a position with one of those corporate evil firms and as they are entering a merger they decided to fire me based on the basis of a performance issue and not pay my bonus etc.
My permit is also about to expire in 2 months while my notice ends a month prior to that. Having received the form to extend permit I asked that if they can fill it as it only asks if I am currently employed by the company and they refused to do so as they are obviously the worst of humanity.
Given the situation, I assume it is highly unlikely that I find a position so quickly, is there any possibility of a short term extension in my situation? The other possible scenario is I guess is if I marry my partner ( we were planning it last year but came Corona and we have delayed it ) but as I meant to apply for C next year thought would effect my timeline etc.
Your help is much appriciated..

Sorry to hear your difficult situation.

While I could not answer your question with 100% certainty, since you have a B permit, even though you are Non-EU, you should be entitled for the unemployment benefit and your permit will at least be renewed to cover at least during those period, no? Have you tried to reach RAV?

In theory, I have been paying quite a lot to RAV for a while so I should receive benefit for a year or two. I have also heard that RAV can sponsor ur permit but I am yet to hear that it has actually happened the posts here also do not mention that RAV has actually helped to extend the permit rather than it is possible.
