      It seems brutal and cold but I found this very interesting:

      *After his death (father), she took her mother to Switzerland at the end of 2021.*

      *The widow, who had travelled to Switzerland on a visa, applied for a residence permit; the cantonal authorities refused and turned the woman away.*

    2. It seems very cruel but I think these regulations are quite clear and I don’t know what the daughter was thinking. She made a hard call and now lost.

      Having parents far away and old, I am well aware of the rules. Unfortunately the daughter appeared to think they could make the case for a permit for her mother. This just adds to the long list of cases like this that has failed. Even if the mother wasn’t widowed or sick, family reunification of the extended family is extremely difficult

      For a nonEU parent getting them here is pretty much impossible unless you or they have major major cash. There is no resident permit for getting care.

      I’m more curious how she even could apply for a resident permit after travelling here on a presumably a tourist visa.

      Ignoring the personal implication, but this highlights a massive issue coming our way with the current health insurance system.

      The last 2-3years are by far the most expensive. Bringing your parents, who have never contributed into the system at that final stage of their lives stretches the solidarity a bit too far and isn’t sustainable.

      I mean it states that you need an indispensable level of care and that the family failed to prove that. So in other cases, it’s permitted. I think that’s fair… It would be a catastrophy if anyone could bring their family members with any disease to live here.

      What solidarity?
      You pay for the healt INSURANCE. It is not social healt care. It is insurance that you pay for.

      I think it is correct. Not everybody can bring his old parent here into the health system. Old people are the most expensive. So no. It‘s not cruel, it‘s law. Only Option would be the old lady stays here secretly without any permition and her daughter covers all her health expenses privately. I guess they wouldnt do that though.

      Europe’s heart of darkness – was the title of a major media article again. Here’s again an example.

      Thats one of these cases where as a lawyer you just try to stall/delay every procedural step as much as possible, take full advantage of deadlines and possible extensions and also appeal every detail through all instances. As long as there is no final (non appealable) ruling this tactic can buy the client quite some time.

      I would appeal. And stall. Chances are by the time the court decides anything, the lady wont be able to travel back to China and will have to stay here.

    10. Why even post this, OP? The “please keep it civilized” is certainly a nice touch on a topic that you know will be anything but.

    11. It is hard to comment something like this based on news article. Hence why we have courts and second instance.
