Move from Swiss to France - Long term Visa

If a collaborators is leaving in Switerzland and wants to move in France he will have to wait 3 months before to be able to apply for the french visa in Geneva.

He will have to request a NOTE VERBALE (with Swiss address and swiss phone number) and provide the CMS secretariat with a copy of his swiss card.

Familly matters

Coming to CERN at the same time: The CMS secreatariat can provide all the officials documents and include the family (see the specific templates).

Coming to CERN when the CMS collaborators is already at CERN:

1. Short term:   They will have to proceed by themself with the request of Visa but we create a template that they can fill by themselves which will help the process.

2. Long term:    For France only NOTE VERBALE (for Spouse, Children, and sometimes parents of the collaborators).

For Swiss nothing specific. For the parents of the collaborators, is there a justification (illness, etc....) he can contact the Relation Secretariat for help.

 

Duration of stay matters

If a collaborators has a multiple entry visa the maximum of stay is 90 days in 6 months. The is NO POSSIBILITY to stay more with this C-type, they should apply for a long term visa.

 

Where to live

With a french visa only in FRANCE

With a swiss visa only in SWITZERLAND

 

Can I travel in the Schengen Area ?

With all the type of visa (C-type and D-type) you can travel in the Schengen Area.

 

Why the D-type visa is only for 3 months ?

All D-type visa are generated for 3 months. The reason is that upon arrival the collaborators will have to request a French or Swiss resident permit card which will replace the D-type Visa.
