Dear Swiss community, Firstly, let me clarify that I live in Switzerland, so that my post is not removed. If my question is still in the wrong subreddit, I would appreciate if someone can point me to the correct place the ask the question. I am looking for advice from someone who works in the Swiss healthcare system. Ideally as a doctor, who immigrated here from a non EU/EFTA country. Our situation is this: I live in Switzerland for the past 5 years, and I hold a B-Permit ( soon I’ll get the C-permit I hope ). Both I and my soon to be spouse are from a non EU/EFTA country. She lives in Germany, and is working as a resident doctor there for the past 3 years. She has Approbation there, and speaks the language fluently. Since we want to live together and it is easier for her to find a job here than me finding a job there, we decided to live in Switzerland. As far as I understood the Swiss immigration law, once we get married she will be automatically qualified for getting a B-Permit through family reunification. My questions are related to this. Does her having the right to obtain the B-permit add to her chances of finding a job here? She’s already registered to Medreg, but her diploma is recognized as “non recognizable diploma” ( nicht anerkennbares Diplom ), which as far as I understood allows her to work as a doctor, but narrows her chances of finding a post. Is it possible to change this, through her work experience in Germany, and German approbation? If there is someone who went through a similar situation in the past, and would want to share their experiences, I would be very happy to listen as well. :) Thank you for your responses. submitted by /u/toyanich
