Hello - I have a "B" work permit. My wife and son also have dependant residence permits. We are expecting a second child in couple of weeks (the baby will be born in India and need to be brought back to Switzerland)

Question: In order to get the child a dependant permit, can I apply directly with the Zurich migration authorities or does it have to be done from my home country? Also, does anybody know how long it would take to get the permit and visa stamping done AND the mandatory documents for permit processing other than Passport, legalized Birth Certificate, No-Objection-Certificate from House-owner and B permits of parents?

Thanks a lot!

I would suggest contacting your local Gemeinde, and the swiss consulate general in India...I'm sure you are not the first person to be in your situation...

Dear All,

Appreciate it if you could please share the process.

Many thanks.

Could you please let me know as I am in the same situation. My baby was born in February 2011 in the Middle East, but has a temp SOuth African passport so cannot even get into CH right now. I have a B permit and property in CH> CH is my primary residence but my husband lives and works in the Middle East so I spend a few weeks here, a few weeks there. I have been out of the country for a number of months now and am a bit worried that I'll get into trouble a) with B permit and being out and b) not registering baby.

Could anyone help?
Thanks
