Switzerland: permits and visas

So we are hopefully on our way to Switzerland soon soon. Andre is supposed to start working there from the beginning of next month. We've been waiting for his B-Permit which is a work permit and it's been sounding positive. We're hoping to have it by the end of the month.

Then while on honeymoon we discovered that he also needs a Schengen Visa. Switzerland became part of the Schengen states on the 12th December. A very friendly and helpful lady at the Swiss embassy told us that since it's for business it will take 2-3 months! Not good news... Now we just heard from the company that it's not necessary so we'll hope for the best!

The PR lady there sent us a link to look at some flats so that's what I'm going to do now. Exciting stuff! :-)
