Roman Polanski will not be released from prison until next week at the earliest, according to BBC News.
The Oscar-winning director has been in custody in Zurich since September on a 1978 US warrant that was issued after he pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
He was granted £2.7 million ($4.5 million) bail by the Swiss Federal Criminal Court this week.
The Swiss Justice Ministry has claimed that his move from jail to his Swiss chalet will not happen until Monday at the earliest because more time is needed to make the necessary arrangements.
The 76-year-old will also be ordered to surrender his passport and must wear an electronic monitoring device.
It has been reported that the bail ruling will not affect the ongoing assessment of whether or not to extradite Polanski to the US.
