Yes, however that is a cumulative with the "wichtige Gründe", or major reasons as the French version puts it, which have to be put forward by the applicants.

22
Sorry I have been having a sabatical for the last few days. Anyway, it is quite correct that since 01-01-08 there is no need for a new permit application on job change for a non-EU B permit holder. The holder of a Kurzaufenthaltsbewilligung which is an L permit must however apply. So in this case the authorities did get it right which deserves a

23
How did they get it right when you yourself say the holder must apply for a bewilligung and they say he doesn't?

24
Im not really stating a fact here...just an experience.

And I find it really odd that two Different Offices would make the same mistake in the Interpretation of the New Law, if it is so clearly put in the Articles.

25
Because he said he had a B permit...

26
Isn't project-B kurzfristig as well?

27
Yes maybe in practice and no legally... but a Project B could be for 5 years...

28
Are these law changes posted in some official website? Can someone please post the link. I'd like to read it first and avoid posting my dummy questions here.

Thanks!

Im not sure if uploading a document like this is allowed. Moderators please do delete this if its not.

However, here I have the Complete Document for the new Law. Its only in German though. Cant quite remember the link...sorry.

Thanks ashishshah!

Now, I have the weekend to type all this on Google and translate!

Or maybe, it's easier to just go to HR on Monday and ask them to translate!

31
I used Altavista myself...its not...easy.

32
www.leo.org is wonderful for german translation. Thanks for the pdf, and thoughts.

Could you do please the following favor for me :

You have a paper from Arbeitsamt called Stellenantritt . There is a Zulassungcode . can you tell me what number is it ?

There is also a bedingungen part : is there written : "Ein stellenwechsel ist nicht moeglich" or not ?

I would be grateful...

What an abrupt end to such an interesting thread.

Going thru the thread the second time, the confusion still remains.

1) How easy is it for a non EU project linked B-permit holder to switch jobs, in the same canton.

2) Can the spouse of a non EU project linked B-permit holder, holding a dependent visa work in Switzerland?

35
Some of the posts in this thread aren't so accurate. So, don't trust too much. People with project-based work permits can't change the job (zulassungscode : 1406)

For sure, you have a paper called "Stellenantritt" . there is a section called "Bedingungen" (conditions) . If there exists : "Stellenwechsel ist nicht möglich",then it means that you can't change your job, even with regard to new laws.

36
I wouldnt go so far to say that the posts are not accurate. I believe everyone is providing information to the best of their knowledge.

About the permit, I have come to realize that it looks like its handled on a case by case basis. In my case, the people in Kanton Luzern were quite happy to let me switch jobs and Kanton, while the people in Kanton Zurich were not so thrilled about it.

Still, somehow I got through. I suggest non-EU Project related B-permit holders to make everything clear and get documentary proof of the rulings before taking any steps, since its quite easy for the authorities to 'deny' what they confirmed before(Happenned to me already) .

Best of Luck.

Sorry. I didn't want to insult at other people. I didn't mean that the posts are wrong. I told that they aren't 100% correct.

There is a sentence like this : "Project-based permits can change the job without permition... " . which isn't 100% true. There are many exceptions.

By the way : did you have "Stellenwechsel ist nicht möglich"

in your stellenantriit or not ?

38
Yes, I do.

And the Z-Code is 1406 as well. 1406 basically means Project-related Permit.

But my permit was last renewed before 01.01.2008, and since the New Aliens Law, things have changed a bit.

And it was the people in Kanton Luzern who told me I could do this(change the job & kanton) on my current permit. I had applied for a new permit in Luzern, which I thought had to be done, when they came back saying...Thats not needed.

39
The sentence should not be taken out of context. It has info before and after that statement which make it 100% correct.

Please read the entire post.

Thanks a lot man for the quick answers.

Sorry . I confused a little bit.

1)After renewing the permit before 01.01.2008, was the new permit at that time again 1406 ? what was the duration ? what was the duration for old permit. could you please give a short detail about your permits so far ?

I really appreciate your help ....

I have also 1406 with "Stellenwechsel ist nicht möglich". but i called there , I went personally there. they told me I can't. Perhaps a company should formally make the query from the Arbeitsamt.
