Hi,

My husband & I just moved to Geneva a week ago. I've tried my very best to figure out all the admin/legal stuff but seem to get such conflicting answers.

He has a B permit which has arrived from his employers. They are supposedly also sending me a B permit to arrive by the end of the month (which doesn't make sense to me as they dont employ me but apparently this is their MO for spouses)

Everywhere I've looked it talks about getting an attestation from the Cantonal Office for Population. However his HR department said that with the 'registration they'd done on our behalf (by which they seem to mean the permits) we don't need to do this.

But then the company doing our customs clearence & our health insurance company have both asked for it in addition to the B permit copies I've already sent. Our relocation advisers tells me she 'doesn't know what I'm talking about' (her answer to most things!!)

Totally bewildered, don't want to get into trouble for missing deadlines but don't want to waste a day of my husband's precious holiday if it turns out we don't need to.

Any advice? Thanks :)
