Non-eu Fast Track Permit C

Visas, Permits, Passports and Naturalization

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to get your advice on my situation .

I came Lausanne in Dec-2021 via family reunification and started to work in March-2022.
In April-2024, since my wife was about to graduate, my company applied to my Visa and we transferred it me, so I have the B working since then.

Assuming all rest of the requirements done, to apply for fast track C, it says 5 years on B but I read different treatments for family reunification section. In this December26, my 5 years will be completed but I wonder if I should wait for March-27 so it would also mean that I have been working for 5 years as well? What would you advice? Did anyone have similar experience on counting family reunification years to fast track C?

Thanks a lot!

Hi, the easiest is to ask your municipality via email, but in a bit more structured way, i.e. at least split it into bulleted points chronologically.
Overall, you can normally apply 3 months before the expiry of your B, so maybe it helps your particular consideration.

PS Also, as a non-EU once having obtained C keep in mind that you need to be pre-approved by the new canton when changing cantons =) It’s normally a pro-forma step but still they may be unhappy if you move first. Just in case it’s something you’re considering.
