I have been here more than 2 years on the annually renewed work permit B? Any one has an idea if it takes 3, 4 or 5 years for a non-EU citizen to get the 5 year residency permit

Hello Riogrande,

As far as I have understood:
1. If you are an expat - takes 5 years
2. If you are locally employed (meaning not as an expat) - you are eligible after 3 years. Doesn't entitle you to get it but you can try your luck.

Good Luck!!!

Cheers

Thanks Jigarshah005,

Yeah, I'll keep my fingers crossed as there is a lot of confusing information out there about the duration towards a long term residency.

Txs again.
