I agree with Careena.  I'd also add that it might be useful to start your search for a part-time job a few months in advance of the sixth month mark.  Keep in mind in Geneva, you are only allowed to work 15 hours per week while enrolled during the school year.  Full-time during the summer.

Thanks very much for your advice Careena!

Without a Permit B, does that mean I cannot travel to other parts of the Europe?

PS: your baby is so cute!

Thank you Amanda - Yes, I think I will start looking for a job from October onwards. Have a lovely day!

I think if you are a student you can still travel, but best check with the office population that will give you your permit. I will check more this wek and hope i can clarify. But i think carena is correct about the time for getting a permit, its not immediate

Even though getting your actual permit can take quite a while, as long as you keep a copy of the application, that should be acceptable to most potential employers - I even kept mine for travelling, although since border security never stopped me, I can't tell you how well it would have worked!
