Partnership Visa

G
#1
Hi, everyone! I am a Filipina living and working in Thailand who is in a relationship with an Italian guy who lives in Switzerland (born and raised.) We are in an LDR relationship for almost 2 years and he's visited Thailand several times but I haven't been to Switzerland. We are planning on living together in Switzerland but we don't want to get married yet.

I asked the embassy about unmarried visa and they said we need to apply for National Visa Type D.
Would we have a hard time getting visa since I havent been to Switzerland? I have lived in the Netherlands and has visited a lot of countries if it adds to my chances of getting the Visa. Has any of you ever been on the same boat? Any help/information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
