Hi all,

New member here and U.S. citizen. My Swiss boyfriend and I have recently started discussing a move to Bern. After looking at the Swiss embassy website, I see that the visas are for married couples and certified partners (not sure what that is).

Does anyone here know if it's even possible for me to move to Switzerland without being married first? I don't have a job sponsor and no plans to go to school there (except language courses).

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tara
