Implications on losing your job post-Brexit

I’m wondering, if you were here pre-Brexit as a UK national with a C permit and have ‘acquired rights’ due to being employed here pre-Brexit but then lose your job, what are the implications? Can you still stay in Switzerland? Do you need to change your permit some how?

The way I see it you can be from Mars if you have a C. You stay.

More interesting would be how the situation was for B-premit holders who came here on Schengen grounds.

Agree. C permit is for permanent residency.

However under limited circumstances a C permit can be revoked and replaced with a B. For example:

  • Long-term and significant dependency on social assistance
  • Absence from Switzerland
  • Criminal offenses
  • False declarations or fraud
  • Threat to public safety or national security
  • Non-compliance with permit conditions or integration agreement
  • Not meeting integration requirements

We know that. But Brexit was not a reason.
Just turning into coming from a third country does affect C-permit. :wink:
