EU B-permit without the right to work?

jeudi 13 août 2015

Dear all,

I am an EU citizen and I have moved to canton Zurich in May 2015 with my boyfriend (not married) who is also a EU citizen and has a B permit. When applying for a permit at the gemeinte my boyfriend had to sign a letter that he will be taking care of the costs of living for me because I was not working and would be looking for a job. A few weeks later I received a B permit. I was pleasantly surprised because I thought that I would be receiving a L permit instead. After much difficulties I have finally found a job that required me to start as soon as possible because it required me to work on a short project. However, I just found out that the B permit states 'ohne Erwerbstatigkeit''.

So my question is: Do I request a new B permit to be able to work? Can I start working Monday while I request this new permit? Has anyone else encountered this problem? I am really confused because I did not know that there were different B permits and I told my employer that I have a B permit so I could start as soon as possible.

Many thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
