Re: greek car driving permit in lausanne
Gia Sou Dionysia,
I am new to Switzerland and drove here with a Greek registered car as well. No one has been helpful on this subject and I have been told 3, 6 and or 12 months from various people. I drove over to Germany today and on my way back i was stopped by customs. They informed me that I should have declared my car upon entry. Long story short, they logged my car into the customs computer and gave me a form that cost me 25 francs with an expiration of 2 years from the day i brought my car in. The customs agent told me that I had to 1. take my car out before the end of 2 years, 2. Get it registered in Switzerland or 3. go back to the customs office and ask for a 1 year extension stamp before this form expires in November 2013.
I was told I have to keep the custom form in the car with my "green card" in case i get pulled over. Also... she said I have one year to transfer my drivers license over to a swiss one. Funny thing is that I forgot my drivers license at home and just handed them my Taftotita, not being able to read greek, they accepted it with a smile. ha.
Hope that helps.
Grigoris
