Hey everyone,
Looking for some advice from anyone who has navigated this with the migration office (specifically Canton Aargau, but any experience helps).
I’m on a Swiss B permit and trying to confirm if taking annual leave in December carries any hidden risks for my permit status. I want to avoid booking flights and then getting surprised by my permit being revoked—especially since losing a permit resets all accumulated years towards a C permit / naturalization back to zero.
Here is my timeline for this calendar year:
-Spent ~2 weeks abroad in early January.
-Sent on an official, temporary 5-month work assignment abroad by my Swiss employer (May to Sept). I paid Swiss taxes, health insurance, kept my apartment, and remained on my Swiss contract the entire time.
-Returned to Switzerland in September and have been back living/working here as normal.
-Planning to take ~3 weeks of standard holiday abroad in December.
Because of the 5-month work assignment, my total physical days spent inside Switzerland this calendar year will end up right around ~175–180 days.
Does anyone have experience with this combination?

1. Does a work-mandated rotation abroad combined with normal holiday time put my B permit or C permit continuity at risk?
2. Has anyone in a similar position ever had the migration office query their overall days outside CH when renewing their permit or applying for a C permit later on?
   Appreciate any insights!

Hi everyone,

My parents are visiting me in Sweden on a short-stay Schengen visa. Their maximum allowed stay ends on September 10th, but their SAS flight home to India is booked for September 11th via Copenhagen (CPH).
This means they will face exit passport control at CPH on Day 68—a 24-hour overstay.
Rebooking the tickets or buying new ones is astronomically expensive right now, so I need to find another way to protect their travel history.

My questions:

1. Short-Stay Visa Extension: Has anyone successfully gotten Migrationsverket to extend a regular Schengen visa by just 1–2 days due to flight schedules? Do they ever approve this for "strong personal reasons," or is it strictly for medical emergencies?
2. Danish Border Enforcement: How strict are the Danish police at CPH with a 24-hour overstay? With the automated Entry/Exit System (EES) active, will a 1-day discrepancy automatically trigger a fine or future visa ban, or do guards show flexibility if shown the airline itinerary?
3. Are there any other Swedish or Danish administrative workarounds for a 24-hour gap that I'm missing?
   Thanks for any insights
