Re: B permit expires soon (non-EU)
So...my B permit (non-EU) expired 30 June 2007, upon the expiration of my employment contract. In order to stay in Switzerland as a tourist for the maximum three months I recently heard that I must first leave the country for an entire month and only then return as a tourist- is this correct? If yes, should I have left on or before 30 June? Must I also fear any financial or legal consequences for being here since 30 June 2007 when I leave? (Mind you, the jails here must be very clean and well kept...)
The lease for my apartment does not expire until 31 Oct 2007 (non-negotiable) so I had hoped to stay here at least until the end of September. (This is when I have managed to find new tenants to move into the apartment and pay the hefty rental costs.)
Meanwhile, if I must go...then I must go. I am just a bit reluctant to go the 'officials' in the event they decide to escort me to the nearest train station with a one way ticket. (Which would not be the end of the world...just a bit more complicated.)
Thanks for any feedback~! Follow the sun...
