It's like some people have paranoia so far I can confirm that I never have seen the polic or any other authority and my addresses in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden.
Maybe you're all criminals don't know, but personally never experienced what you guys post here 😳

I guess you only need to worry about it if you are not an EU citizen (thus not have a legal right to live in every EU country).JohnnyDoe said:
In all EU countries the authorities check if a resident really stays at the address provided. They inspect the property, check utilities, speak with neighbors etc.

not in all. In Estonia for example, they don't care if you live or not.JohnnyDoe said:

If you are registered in population registrar they don't care if you really lived.
They would even issue tax residence certificate. In Estonia or Latvia it's enough to have place to live to be tax resident.
I don't know about other countries
Especially if it's just simple rent flat, they don't care if person lives there

Yes, if you are EU citizen you don't need any permit to live.Don said:

In such cases, if you don't live where you claim to, you must notify the authorities. Even then they might not revoke the residence permit if you have a valid reason.

Yes, but as I said earlier, as a non-EU citizen with a residence permit and not actually complying with the stay requirements (not using the residence permit for its intended purpose), you might be (as there are exceptions) breaching immigration laws if you don't notify the authorities about your absence. Some authorities might check it.Konstanz said:

Even if you are not EU citizen you can rent in Estonia

Assume for a moment they go to my address. I am NOT there. I travel around. I spend time in high-end hotels. What are they going to do? Revoke my B permit and lose my taxes?
Nothing prevents you from residing in a hotel, but you must declare it as your residence. If instead you declare a different address, you commit a crime as per art. 251 of the Swiss Criminal Code.jafo said:

They might do nothing, or they might submit your file to the Prosecutor and you could be stripped of your permit and convicted. More probably, they will just call you for an interview, where you will even asked to explain your unusual situation and amend your residential address.
Not their problem, they will just order you to leave Switzerland.jafo said:
I've NEVER EVER lived, been registered, or owned a home in ANY other EU country, so what will they do?

If you regularly pay your taxes, I'm pretty sure that they will find an amicable way to address the situation.jafo said:
I feel it's actually a blessing. I might make an anonymous phone call and snitch on Jafo. I then get out of paying my wealth taxes in CH rof/%
