| Quote: | | | | | my hypothesis:
1. their british ski holiday tour operator organized a bus to france without telling authorities and picked them up in the night. It's a quick jump over the border from verbier. | | | | | Actually it isn't a quick jump. First you have to get to Martigny, then up a big, big hill up to Chamonix via both French and Swiss immigration posts. Then from there it is mostly motorway down to ... Geneva, which can be avoided with care.

Well, presumably they know their identities from their passports/reservations so I hope Switzerland will slap them all with at least a 10 year ban on entering the country since it would apply to the rest of Schengen Area as well. No more ski holidays for them for a while.  | | The following 5 users would like to thank Medea Fleecestealer for this useful post: | | | This user groans at Medea Fleecestealer for this post: | |

quick jump? If they flew like birds, perhaps. By road- not so much!

Has it crossed the collective mind that some of these UK nationals in Verbier could be longtime legitimate residents living in Switzerland and they simply went home?
There are 42000 British people living in Switzerland.
