| Dear everyone,
I applied for my study residence permit from my home country and after waiting for several months, I received my approval letter from the canton but 3 months visa was issued by the embassy. I explained to the embassy that my studies last for 3 years and I submitted an application for 3 years permit. They told me I have to apply for a residence permit on arriving in Switzerland for a long extension.
On arriving here, I registered at the gemeinde and applied for the residence permit at the migration office but they issued 1 MONTH RESIDENCE PERMIT (same as the visa validity) instead of 1 year permit.
In this situation, what would you suggest me to do? | |

Never heard of one month's permit either. I'd take it up with your uni first. They should be able to help. You probably only get a permit for one Year (in case you drop out, can't financially support yourself or flunk your exams).
Can you post a picture of your permit, blocking out your personal details?
