freelancing with a permit L

Feb 28, 2012 @ 16:51

Dear all,

I hope someone could help me sorting this out, since I do not understand a word of what www.ge.ch says. I am EU national on a L permit valid for 6 months that I got being an intern for a NGO. However, I have recently got an offer for a free lance teaching job by a school. Do you think I am allowed to accept? And in case, how does it works for the taxes, etc?

Also, how do you think it would it be possible to start my own activity as a freelance teacher or translator, should I apply for a B visa?

Thank you!

3. Residence permits

Types of permits and validity

Type L EU/EFTA short-term residence permit:
People holding a contract of employment of less than twelve months duration are issued a type L EC/EFTA permit. The permit is valid until the contract expires. Nationals of EU-25/EFTA states in employment not exceeding three months do not need a work permit; however, commencement of such employment is subject to online registration. Citizens of EU-2 taking up employment with a Swiss employer are invariably subject to permission.
Online registration

Type B EU/EFTA residence permit:
This permit is issued to people holding a contract of employment of twelve months or unlimited duration and people who prove they are genuinely self-employed. Persons not in gainful employment are issued this permit if they can prove that they possess sufficient financial means to support themselves and have taken out adequate accident and health insurance policies. The permit is valid for five years and can be extended. Students are issued this permit for one year and granted yearly renewals.
