non eu member looking for hotel job in swatzerland?

i am 20 years old and finishing school this month.

i am from south africa but have had a swiss girlfriend for a few years. i have worked part time in a hotel as a barman and waiter for near 3 years and can get a good c.j from 2 company's i have done work for.

i want to work in a hotel in Switzerland full or part time. anything from 6 months to a few years.

honestly i will do any job i can get there! as long as i can live there for some time and be close to my girlfriend. i have been there 2ce to visit her and love it there. she stays in zurich but anywhere is fine.

i can speak some basic german and i am learning well.

i get on well with her family and really want to be with her for some time there. (its been long distance for so long)

i have good thing going for me like being a hard worker and learning fast. im hansom charming and good looking. i love my job at the bar and do it well, in addition i have worked functions, service bar, restraint and Conference center and im currently doing taring for advance service.

i don't have the means or time to go to hotel school here and cant afford one there.

any advice on getting a job or means of financial help to study there would be greatly appreciated.

i am not a top academic because i don't have good subjects at school that are relevant to what i want to do and Other circumstances.

i don't think id get a scholarship

i also don't mind other country eg germany or Astoria, as long as they are close and speak german

    The only way you can live and work in Switzerland is to get a visa. This is unlikely to be easy:

    Labour / Work permits

    Switzerland has a dual system for the admission of foreign workers. Gainfully employed nationals from EU/EFTA States can benefit from agreements on the free movement of persons. Only a limited number of management level employees, specialists and other qualified employees are admitted from all other countries.

    You have no education, training, experience or expertise to get an employment visa anywhere.

    Get a masters degree in hotel management from one of the premier hotel schools in Switzerland, or Cornell University in US, or comparable, work your way up to Resident Manager or General Manager of a hotel in a major international chain, and you have a chance of intracompany transfer to a position in a new hotel in the chain.

    Otherwise, you are remaining in your country of citizenship. Can't say marriage will get you a visa to Switzerland, but you certainly lack any qualifications for employment-based visa or anything else. To go to school, you'd have to have the academics and the financial resources to be admitted to school, and you don't have that either.

    If you earn enough to support your gf, and if you two decide to marry, apply for her immigration to SA.

    I reckon Switzerland is out of the question. Austria and Germany are unlikely. You would need to apply for a visa to either.
