I am a EU citizen living in Switzerland with the B permit. Years ago I started a process to marry here with my girlfriend at that time (non EU). The process was interrupted voluntarily then. And the point is that now I have another girlfriend who is also non EU, and in the future we would like to marry so that she can move here with me.
My question is if there is any specific time that has to pass from the first application until we apply again for my new girlfriend with the migration authorities.
Or could we apply at anytime?
Thank you in advance
There is no problem in marrying in Switzerland as such, many people (tourists) marry every year in the country.
The issue will be that she wants to live here (or you want her to move here, or both) after the marriage and receive a residence permit.
In that case the main hurdle (which affects you more than your girlfriend) is that you have to sign an un-revokable declaration guaranteeing her debts up to the amount of 1500 chf per month for the next 5 years (60 months). The amount and requirements may be canton dependant, but probably you are aware as you have done this before. As soon as you decide that you are fine with that, and the canton has that paper there are generally few hurdles.
PS: there is also a solvability test, ie if you are able to support both people from your job, but generally the salary requirements are low.
Thank you for your answers. But my question was more about restrictions in time from the first application to the second one. For example if several years need to pass after the first application to apply again. I’m aware about the monetary requirements.
You say it was years ago, so it should be fine. There is probably no official “time gap” but you might make them suspicious if you wanted to marry two different women within a year or two.
