I’m in the process of changing jobs - I have offers on the table, but haven’t yet signed nor given notice at my current employer.
At the same time, I’m in the process of renewing my 5-year EU B-permit while simultaneously applying for the C-permit. My current B-permit expires at the start of August and I will file the paperwork for it tomorrow. If I quit my job today, I will still be employed until end of August.
Having never done this before, I’m worried if things might somehow administratively backfire (I don’t think it’s likely but want to rule this out). For the new job which would start in September, I need to be eligible to work in Switzerland, i.e. I need a B or C permit. IIUC the renewal of the B-permit is contingent on being employed. My concern is that the authorities might contact my current employer, find out that I have quit, and then somehow decide that I am not eligible for permit renewal.
This worst case scenario (quit current job, lose permit, lose new job, get kicked out of Switzerland…) is something I want to avoid
On the other hand, my interactions with the authorities have generally been sensible so far. So I imagine if I just explain the situation they will be cool with it.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with a similar situation? Thanks in advance.
