1. find a job in Switzerland
The most important step when emigrating to Switzerland is finding a job. It is difficult to obtain a residence permit without a work contract. Find out about vacancies early on, prepare your application documents carefully and be aware of the special features of the Swiss labour market.
2. organise a flat search
Once you have found a job in Switzerland, you will need a flat. The housing market is tight, especially in the cities. Start your search early and bear in mind that a deposit is often required. We are happy to offer you favourable rental deposit insurance, so contact us in good time.
3. health insurance and coverage
Basic insurance is compulsory in Switzerland, supplementary insurance is voluntary. People who emigrate to Switzerland often wonder which health insurance is best suited to them. We show you what you need to look out for in terms of benefits, cover and premiums - so that you avoid costly mistakes from the outset and are sensibly covered. Liability insurance is also recommended and is required by many landlords.
4. relocation and customs
If you want to emigrate to Switzerland, you should know exactly what counts as removal goods. This is important for customs clearance when entering the country. If you inform yourself in good time and prepare all the necessary documents, you will save time, money and avoid unnecessary effort.
5. registration with the municipality
After your arrival, you must register with the municipality of residence within 14 days. You will need your employment contract and rental agreement as well as a valid identity document. Once you have registered, you will receive your B residence permit, for example.
6. furnish life
Open a bank account, register your car and find out about regional differences in everyday life. If you have children, you should find out about the school system in good time. Good organisation will make settling in much easier. We will be happy to help you with this.
