I am new to this forum. I am non-EU citizen working in Basel on L permit. My company has initiated my L to B conversion ( 2 years) but they anticipate some issues as I changed the canton during my L once to Basel. Kindly advise.
I searched the other threads but couldnt find something similar to my case so posting this.
Perhaps I was not clear enough in my initial posting. I came on a L permit to Zurich but later changed to Basel after my project got over. But i have been working for the same employer and now my company wants to apply for B permit. All the changes have been perfectly authorized without any issues. But my employer tells me that there can be issues in B permit conversion due to canton change. is it so, could you please kindly advise me if you have come across a similar experience.
By moving from Zurich to Basle, was that for work or did you just change where you lived? I’m not sure about L permits, but some B permits say you must live in the same canton as your place of employment. So if your work moved to Basel, but your residence address stayed in Zurich then that might cause a problem as you are working in a different canton from where you are living.
Thank you for the quick response. My job changed to Basel and so I shifted my residence also to Basel after completing the necessary change formalities. Now I am working and living in Basel and my employer is applying for an L to B conversion from Basel. Kindly advise
I kindly advise you to wait. Wait to see what your employer works out with the officials in this case. Normally this permit is not a "pick up and move to another Canton" type. So, let your employer do their business and wait.
I am hoping to receive some good news as I have a family with a kid and she has started going to school. Just got some salary hike too so I will be shattered if I am asked to leave. Dont know, just waiting for the news.
