hello everybody, i am very confused and in fear of a thing that has been eating up me from quite a while now. I am a student from India having a b permit here in Switzerland. I am finishing my internship on 31 of oct and have visa until then. I was trying to find flights on 1-2 but i couldn't. I will be flying back on 4. Is it gonna be okay that i am overstaying my visa for 4 days or is it going to create problems ? Please answer my question if you have any information regarding it. Thank you.
Hello, you didnt answer my question properly. Is it going to be such a big deal for 4 days? Is it really necessary as i will be flying back to my home country.
I don't think you will need a visa, since you are not returning.
Just inform the population office of your departure date and they will extend it in their system, 4 days is really not much of an issue for them, just inform them to be sure it is recorded.
Check with the Cantonal immigration office. I think you have 28 days time to leave the country after the permit expires ( I'm not 100% sure though). Worst case you could apply for 'exit visa'. Call and also send a mail to Cantonal Immigration office.
I would think that if you stay registered as a resident without having a residence permit, then you are definitely overstaying your visa whether you are physically leaving or not...
