The main application form requires that we provide the
names of four Swiss citizens who currently live in Switzerland and who know us
well. Actually, the form asks for at
least four, then provides space for four exactly. To me, the request as worded meant no less
than four and the more the merrier so I called the office for clarification,
asking if it was okay to provide an extra sheet of paper to accommodate some
additional names since we have an abundance of Swiss people who would happily
vouch for us. The guy I spoke with
seemed a bit confused by my question, though, and in the end said that they
only wanted to see that we knew at least four Swiss people. Wow, I thought. We’ve lived here twelve years. I would hope that we can scrape together at
least twelve real live Swiss people who know our names. I’m sure that the rest of the process won’t
be as simple as this.
