Well CH isn't an EU state so it can do what it likes I suppose....republique wrote:Really, that would be discriminatoryWanderer wrote:My people in CH say gay couples need 7 years proof of cohab/relationship.
too bad you didn't mention this before you left belgium, many people commence the eu visa status in belgium and then transfer it over to the next eu state under "reciprocity"
Anyway you can reestablish yourself or appear you are still in belgium and apply for residency and relationship visa there?
I am not outraged, it is pretty consistent behavior for Switzerland, just that they try to give off the aura of neutrality. Doesn't seem to neutral this condition.Wanderer wrote:Well CH isn't an EU state so it can do what it likes I suppose....republique wrote:Really, that would be discriminatoryWanderer wrote:My people in CH say gay couples need 7 years proof of cohab/relationship.

So far it has been a messca.funke wrote:Hi yaom,
all I know is that you are in a bunch of exceptions, which will make it hard to give specific advice.
CH not in the EU, so 2004/38/EC does not apply.
And Switzerland has some funny additional rules for EU-citizens from the memberstates which are not from the EU-15.
My experience is that the local communities are more than willing to help, thus my first instinct would be to go to the townhall and enquire about it there. If you decide to do that - be aware that the folks at the counters sometimes tell you stuff which simply isn´t right. So ask different clerks and compare their answers / try to confirm what they tell you through looking it up on official Swiss websites.
Good luck,

register our partnership as this is the only right we can get as far as marrying in both switzerland and my partner's home country hungaryDirective/2004/38/EC wrote:Just to be clear, do you want to marry or have a registered partnership?
Did you go back to the Canton person and tell them what the Swiss embassy in the US said? You might even call them from the Canton worker's office...
It is in interesting question what your partner's status is as a diplomat.
You can always marry in any of the Canadian provinces, though I am not sure what the waiting time is. (Only one couple has apparently been married in Nunavut http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_m ... _in_Canada)
