Hello Everyone!
I am American and my husband is Swiss and we currently live in South Africa (soon to be Kenya!). Needless to say, we are experiencing many of the complexities (and frustrations) of visas.
We have been married for one year, and currently neither of us has residency or citizenship of the other's country (because we are not living in either country). However, this is really complicating things, as everything still remains separate.
I know that, living abroad, I cannot get Swiss citizenship until we have been married 6 (or 7?) years, so my questions is, is there any kind of Swiss residence permit that I can get now and still live abroad? OR, do you have any other suggestions?
Basically, we want to be residents of the same country, to have the same "home" address, to have the same health insurance policies, etc.
Many thanks for the information!
Sarah
