Il governo svizzero ha deciso di modificare il formato di certe categorie di permessi di lavoro e residenza per la Svizzera. In questo blog, approfondiremo i recenti sviluppi.
Precedentemente, alcuni permessi, per esempio i permessi di lavoro e residenza per EU/AELS erano emessi nel formato cartaceo con la fototessera incollata, inseriti in una custodia di plastica, circa due volte la taglia di una carta di credito.
Questo è cambiato: dal 1° Novembre 2019, alcuni dei permessi emessi saranno sostituiti da nuovi permessi nel formato carta di credito contenenti i dati biometrici dei possessori.
Il cambiamento riguarderà le seguenti categorie di permessi:
- Cittadini EU/AELS (permessi L, B, C)
- Frontalieri (permessi G per tutte le nazionalità
- Coniugi lavoratori e bambini di membri del personale di rappresentanze estere e organizzazioni internazionali (permessi Ci)
- Richiedenti l’asilo durante la procedura di asilo (permessi N)
- Richiedenti l’asilo ammessi temporaneamente (permessi F)
- Persone bisognose di protezione (permessi S)
