Living in Switzerland – A few Tips

Read Our Full Guide Here

Switzerland’s famous tax breaks for rich foreigners have reportedly drawn many a minted magnate in recent years. In 1976, became home to Swedish Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad of Sweden, now the country’s richest resident.

Switzerland has four national languages including French, German, Italian and Rhaeto-Romantsch. The latter has Latin roots. Proficiency in the national languages is decreasing in favour of English. Has a population of about 8 million. About 5 million of them live in the Swiss Plateau in between the Jura Mountains and the Swiss Alps. Among them are the two global cities and economic centres of Zürich and Geneva, whose influence can be seen not only in Switzerland but all over the world. Zürich and Geneva have been ranked among cities with highest quality of life in the world, hence why so many expats choose to move to here. Foreigners account for around 23 percent of the population.

More and more Expats are choosing to retire here, the number of elderly people is increasing: In 2012, 17 percent of the population was 65 or over. As at 2012, life expectancy at birth is 80.5 years for men and 84.7 years for women.

Moving & Working

Obtaining a permit to work in Switzerland depends on many factors, including where you are from, the skills you have:

Switzerland has a dual system for allowing foreigners to work while in the country. The first concerns citizens from the European Union and/or the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), who are generally allowed to come to Switzerland for three months while they look for work. The period can be extended to six months during an active job hunt.

The second is for citizens of all other countries (so-called Third States). Citizens from these countries must have a guaranteed work contract from an employer as well as the appropriate work visa before entering the country. Having a job offer alone is not enough to guarantee a permit.
Family members of a permit holder are allowed to stay and reside here as well, regardless of nationality. Family members include a spouse, descendants under age 21 or dependents over whom custody or care is granted, regardless of age.

Cantonal authorities are responsible for issuing permits. For more information, please visit the Federal Migration Office website.

Healthcare in Switzerland

You must take out insurance with a Swiss health insurance company no later than 3 months after arriving or beginning work in Switzerland. Healthcare coverage is mandatory for all residents, and it is your responsibility to ensure you are properly insured within this timeframe.

Cross-border commuters domiciled in certain EU states have the option of taking out insurance in their country of residence instead of Switzerland.
