When should HR start the renewal process for L or B permit holders?

Best practice is to start gathering documents 8–12 weeks before expiry so the application reaches the commune at least two weeks before the permit expires, in line with Swiss rules. Early initiation gives cantonal authorities enough time to decide before the current permit lapses, reducing the risk of status uncertainty during busy periods.
