---+ Summary information to obtain Swiss visa / work permit

In general, you will need to apply for a visa (or work permission) in case that your stay exceeds 8 days. The required documents have not changed. Details for what you have to do are now given on a PSI webpage which you'll find here (it's even in english!):

   * <span style="color: red">Non-EU/EFTA citizens</span> should start <span style="color: red">latest 8 weeks ahead</span> of their arrival at PSI.
   * <span style="color: red">EU/EFTA citizens</span> should initiate the procedure <span style="color: red">at least 10 days in advance</span>. If your stay is <span style="color: red">longer than 90 days</span>, also EU/EFTA citizens have to apply for a visa and have to send in all the full paper work listed below. For a stay &lt;= 90 days, you only need to send a copy of your passport and the exact dates of arrival and departure.

Here is the short version of what you should:
   * Send an email to %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiDocGraphics/mail.gif [[mailto:anita.vanloon@psi.ch][Anita_van_Loon]] with the following information (scanned copies should be ideally send as a PDF document): 
      * A letter of your home institute confirming that: 
         * you are employed at your home institute
         * your monthly (yearly) salary is ....
         * they send you to PSI from ... to ... for participating in the experiment ....
         * and you'll return to the home institute after the period.
      * A copy of your passport
      * The completed [[%ATTACHURL%/PersonaldatenblattGastwissenschafter.doc][questionaire for guest scientists (Word document)]]
      * A statement about the location of the consulate/embassy where you want to pick up your visa.
      * You can list me (Peter Winter) as the contact person at PSI.
   * Ideally you send these information at least 7 weeks in advance to Anita.
   * If you have any questions concerning the procedure or during your application process, feel free to contact me (%PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiDocGraphics/mail.gif [[mailto:peter.winter@psi.ch][Peter_Winter]]) and I will try to help.
