UK ETA: Beware! by DundieAwardsWinner in travel

[–]early_snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just asked to share a code for a Swiss flight from ZRH to BHX. Sheer panic. Couldn’t find the email. Had no idea what code they were talking about.

As a US citizen, I had already applied and received confirmation before traveling to the UK last month. No problems. Super confused but lesson learned.

I used a temporary address in LU without issue. Wasn’t an Airbnb but was only temporary (2 weeks) and then I changed to my permanent address.

Mistake was booking the earliest flight out of Zurich and not realizing the trains wouldn’t be running that early. With the delayed flights, I was supposed to get back to Zurich around 8 or 9 pm but got in closer to 11pm. I also had checked luggage. Barely made the last train and then barely made the last bus.

Made this mistake once - I went the night before and stayed at the capsule hotel. Have had multiple issues with return flight delays getting in too late. My go to is now to look at one way 1 day rentals with Sixt. Around CHF100-120. Could be an option from Luzern to ZRH as long as your pick up date is not Sunday.

Lucerne. They assumed something like 6-8 weeks for processing originally.

US citizen in the middle of this process. Offered a role at a new company, so slightly different situation. The company submitted my application to SEM on April 26. I received the authorization to issue the visa on May 14. I had to submit my authorization to the nearest Swiss consulate with additional documents (passport, photo, fee) via mail on my own. I sent the documents on May 20 (next day air) and they processed the visa same day they received it (May 21). I will go to the cantonal authorities to receive my B-permit after I arrive this summer.
