What should I bear in mind when moving to Switzerland?

Switzerland is not part of the EU, which means customs regulations apply when moving from the EU to Switzerland. You must declare your household goods at the Swiss customs office—even though, as an EU citizen, you may be exempt from value-added tax. A detailed inventory of your belongings is required, especially for valuable items such as electronics, furniture, or artwork.

We assist you in preparing this inventory and handle the customs clearance to make the process as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

As an EU citizen, you do not need a visa, but you must register with the local residents' registration office within 14 days of arrival. Additionally, you need to register for a Swiss social security number (AHV). If you plan to work in Switzerland, a work permit is required, which we can apply for on your behalf. We assist you in gathering all necessary documents and ensure that you meet all the regulatory requirements.

Switzerland has specific import regulations, in particular for foodstuffs, plants and animals. Import regulations for pets require an EU pet passport and up-to-date vaccinations. There are also quantity limits for alcohol and tobacco products, which must be declared if they are exceeded. We will inform you about these regulations and take care of all the necessary formalities to ensure that your move goes smoothly.
