I am a new zealander with a swiss father looking for residence in switzerland.I was originally promised that it was a simple affair,and the process was already in action for a month or so before i left to stay with my relatives in switzerland.Now,it has been nearly 4 months since i left NZ,and im staying with my mums parents in Belgium,as my swiss temporary visa has run out.
We discovered i could not get a passport automatically,as my parents were not married when i was born,but surely i can get a work permit?I have an employer (my cousin), but i contacted both the swiss embassy in nz and the Police for Foreigners in switzerland,and was basically given completely contradicting information.
The embassy told me the passport wouldn't be possible,and that i could apply for a work permit.
The Police for Foreigners told me that being from NZ i could not get a work permit,but that since i had a swiss father i should apply for a passport...Any help would be greatly appreciated,as i'm only 18 and a little out of my depth here,and i have to decide whether its worth waiting in Belgium or cutting my losses and heading back to New Zealand.Thanks in advance,Nemo Burkhard.
Hello yes. my name is Franke. i am from switzerland, i give you job turning butter yes. good pay, very. you will reside in the stables for no charge and have all the goat you wish. when may you start?
Switzerland is a shitty country, why would you want to move here? New Zealand is infinitely better than this dump. A lot of foreigners also don't like it as well and the Swiss are trying to pass new laws to prohibit or make it impossible for non-EU foreigners to live here.
Also the administration in Switzerland is really bad, they do not know anything and the Embassy gives contradicting information from the people in Bern, and they wait so long just to treat your application, until it's too late. The Swiss are anti-social and do not want to communicate anything. This is a land of stupid assholes who only became rich and successful because everyone puts their money in the banks here.
