I am now living in Geneva for 1 month. I was told I need a visa if I plan on staying longer than 3 months. How do I go about getting this?
I also want to apply for a B permit. Can you help me figure this out and do I have to wait for a visa first?
HELP?
Thanks,
Linda

I don't know but I would call the Permanent Mission of Canada in Geneva. I've called on them for other issues and they have been incredibly helpful.

Good luck!

Hi,
You are allowed to stay for a max of 6 months within one year (2 times 3 months but after the first 3 months period is over you have to leave then you can re-enter for an other 3 months period). Siince nobody at the Suisse border/passport control stamps a Canadian passport the rule is not enforced. I have been in Switzerland for almost 10 years and nobody put a stamp in my passport whenever I was returning to Switzerland.
You can apply for a B or L permit in the following circumstances:
-you are here to study or work (need to show an employment contract)
-you're married to a Suisse or you're accompaning a husband that already has a permit
For more information about permits and other useful stuff I suggest to buy "Living and working in Switzerland".
