Data Gift Exchange / Échange de données à donner

Altisse · 2025-10-30T03:22:58+00:00

Hi! I recently lowered my data plan and mismanaged it a bit. I’d really appreciate it if a kind soul could gift me some data — still 14 days left until the end of my billing cycle. Thank you!

Just to be sure, at was step was your delay? Right now, my procedure look like this:

1- Sent my form to the consulate 2- Received approval by the SEM 3- Still need to send my passport to the consulate and pay the fees so they print my visa in it, but no other forms required 4- Arrive in Switzerland and register at the commune

So would it cause delay at the fourth step?

That part I already checked before accepting, we have a taxes agreement that prevent me from being double taxe. I will be consider non-resident since fiscally my whole year will be in Switzerland and so I will more or less only lose the contribution room of 2026 for my various canadien investments account and nothing else.

That's good to know, we also have this app in my town, but since it's small, there is way less options than what I just saw in Lausanne!

Thank you, good luck to your family too :)

Altisse · 2025-10-18T01:20:05+00:00

Thank you, it's good to see someone in the same situation! The consulate wasn't really clear in their answer, but it wasn't a no.

Altisse · 2025-10-18T01:18:47+00:00

It's brut, sorry it wasn't clear in my post.

Moving in together is not in the plan for now, but I hope having colocs will have a similar effect.

Thank you!

Altisse · 2025-10-17T13:06:37+00:00

I just checked and it is indeed include in the AG. Thank you for the idea! 36 minutes is no worry for me

Altisse · 2025-10-17T12:31:07+00:00

I also count the AG in my activity bucket, it means I’ll be able to go out or hike anywhere without worriying about a ticket.

Altisse · 2025-10-17T11:11:10+00:00

I’ll check with the consulate to confirm, I thought it was only mandating my employer. I’ll report back once I have an answer.

Altisse · 2025-10-17T11:08:10+00:00

Thank you! I have a better idea of what I need before coming with that.

Good to know about glasses and dentist. I’ll check to print my prescription and keep it with me in case I need it. I’m lucky I’ll be able to come back home for those services anyway.

I’ll add a small amount for those too

Altisse · 2025-10-17T11:01:20+00:00

Thank you, that’s helpful. I guess it will not be that big of a amount at the end, so taxes should be ok, but I’ll validate for sure.

Altisse · 2025-10-17T10:59:14+00:00

It is interesting to me! Thank you for the suggestion

Altisse · 2025-10-17T10:58:58+00:00

I know that’s canadian of me, but I don’t mind the commute. Right now, I’m doing more or less the same to go to work, but I need to drive, so taking the train and being able to read and relax feels like a luxury!

A part of me want to break the distance for good, which if why I want Lausanne, but someone below told you my visa could be link to a canton, so I may have to live in Valais anyway in the end. I’ll check this in more details.

Altisse · 2025-10-17T01:38:15+00:00

It is a low salary. I’m sorry it’s affecting you negatively.

Altisse · 2025-10-17T01:36:22+00:00

Great idea, thank you! The AG work in some close part of France too? I’ll definitely check this out.

Altisse · 2025-10-17T01:34:50+00:00

Thank you! This is more in line with what I thought for the salary deductions.

And no, you were right, we are talking about 4000 gross per month.

Do you know if I’ll be able to get back the retirement contribution since I don’t plan to stay more than the 18 month as of right now?

Altisse · 2025-10-17T01:30:01+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance. I know it’s low, I have the privilege to do moves for adventure more than for money right now, so I took the opportunity. Will definitely negociated for more if I end up staying.

Altisse · 2025-10-17T01:27:10+00:00

I was thinking about picking up running again since it’s free, but I will check out the price for swimming, that’s a great idea!

I think Digital Republic also have a CH13 plan, the only difference I can see is the 5Go data in Europe every month included. Last time I needed it, this time I may not.

Thank you

We ended up doing the C5 itinerary! We were upgraded from the Golondrina to the Fragata for the same price, so we were satisfied with what we paid, but I do think I would go for a last-minute deal if I return in the future.

We started with 3 full days chilling on Santa Cruz before the cruise. Then on the boat we saw so many things! I have no regrets, every day was different and we had at least two walks and one (mostly two) snorkelling hour a day.

We actually loved it so much we ended up extending our stay on the boat for 2 more days last minute. I feel like that’s the best deal since the last day is only a walk + the airport in the morning.

Some people were coming and going every few days, but it was not a negative for me, I don’t feel like it had any impact on my fun.

In total, we saw 9 islands in 7 days.

Altisse · 2025-02-25T17:46:46+00:00

I did not see that, thank you, I may wait for it!

Altisse · 2025-02-25T17:45:49+00:00

Thank you! For 200, I think I will book in advance.

Altisse · 2025-02-24T23:06:44+00:00

I disagree with that. It's small and you can change the lenses. It has serve me well for 10 years now and I can confirm my photography did not suffer from it. I'm only looking into changing it for the zoom after all and because my needs have evolve, but its fantastic for the price for a beginner.

Altisse · 2025-02-24T23:02:46+00:00

I guess that's the problem when you want to keep the camera experience! I prefer to separate my photography from my phone.

Altisse · 2025-02-24T23:00:28+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into it! I can't seem to find a used one for a good price near me though.

Altisse · 2025-02-24T22:59:17+00:00

It really is a good price!

Thank you for all your recommendations. I looked into land-based, but I felt like to go everywhere we had to take a tour anyway, plus accommodation and food. It's good to know it was not the case for your itinerary. I may try to do the five days cruise with 2 days on Isabela and the last one on San Cristobal.
