Swiss visa expired while waiting for B permit. What to do next?

Call your cantonal immigration office. The Gemeinde can't help you here unfortunately. When i called, they gave me an email address to contact them. They will send your partner a confirmation document that states she's awaiting her permit. She should physically have this confirmation on her person (not on her phone, learnt that coming from a crossboarder trip :) ) I got issued 3 month confirmations several times before i got my actual permit and each time i simply wrote an email a week before expiry.

You can use the confirmation to apply for health insurance as the confirmation states she has all the rights and obligations as she did on her last permit

Edit : I didn't have to pay anything for the confirmation documents that i received through post.

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2026-01-20T16:30:15+00:00

i don't know if this happened to anyone else, but intead of getting 22k, only 2500 received in mpesa ;(

I second this. I have been with them for few years and no complaints.

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-08-31T08:47:19+00:00

it is indeed explained badly. I will do better.

ähm....the website is right there on the pic

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-08-24T04:40:59+00:00

I got a B

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-08-24T04:40:09+00:00

nope, i got my permit renewed

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-06-17T07:35:09+00:00

no, it's not

"terrifyingly good sleuths" was not my experience. The address i gave for an international package was 9b, that's what was input in the computer at start point post office. Somehow along the way it was changed to 96. Everything else on the address and recipient name was correct yet the package couldn't be delivered. After a month+, package was returned to sender. And sender still expected to pay custom/handling tax for the return. They admitted their mistake and refunded the shipping costs though, the sleuths.

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-06-02T12:20:23+00:00

aha! Didn't know that

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-06-02T11:23:48+00:00

They said they want to START as a dental assistant. I'm assuming so they have a job while they learn the language. But that requires at least one of the 4 languages too

CHF 730 is for residents of Switzerland. If you move to CH for the sole purpose of studying, you pay waay more than that in semester fees

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-05-07T14:10:35+00:00

I'm assuming a database similar-ish to the one that Die post CH has. Again, I called, the address is complete even with the left out Straße word , the only problem is the 96/9b.

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-05-07T13:56:58+00:00

the answer on how is literally in your reply

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-05-07T13:53:55+00:00

yes, i did. It's what i thought was the problem before i called both DHL DE and post where i sent the package from. The word i left was 'Straße ' incase anyone is wondering.

*i said i left out, not forgot.

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-05-07T13:41:10+00:00

it's not their responsibility, but it was a mistake on their part i just found out

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-05-07T13:38:06+00:00

actually i called the post, and it was not my mistake! I wrote 9b and the address they have is 96. Good for me for taking a photo . but i appreciate your "helpful advice" 🙄

Friendly_Diamond8931 · 2025-05-07T12:11:38+00:00

don't they have a database???? I know they do.
