Bureaucracy: What do I need to consider before moving to Switzerland? 

If you are a German citizen and plan to stay in Switzerland for more than 90 days, you must register at the immigration office. You apply for your residence permit at this office. You must also register in your new place of residence 14 days after entering the country. If you start work at an earlier date, you must register earlier.

You also need to prove that you are earning your livelihood from your property or your work. As a German, you need a work permit to work in Switzerland. So there is a lot of paperwork waiting for you, because with this move you are not only leaving Germany, but also the European Union.

Moving to Switzerland: What else needs to be done?

In addition to the official procedures mentioned, there are also some general steps that should be taken when moving. Here are some of the most important points you should think about:

  • Terminate the rental agreement for the old apartment
  • Sign the new rental agreement
  • Apply for mail forwarding at the post office
  • Send a moving notification to all contacts
  • Redirect or cancel newspaper subscriptions
  • Cancel telephone connections
  • Cancel gas, water, and electricity
  • Register the energy supply at your Swiss residence
  • Get quotations from moving companies
  • Involve and motivate personal assistants
  • Book tradesmen in advance
  • Choose and order new furniture (delivery times!)

Hire a nanny and pet sitter for the big moving day

Anyone moving house with their whole family will be happy if someone looks after their children or pets on the big day. Our advice: If you have small children, arrange for a nanny in advance. And it would also be a good idea to get a pet sitter for your dog and cat, as four-legged friends often get stressed by moving furniture around. If your children and furry friends are well looked after on the big day, you can relax and let us help you with your move to Switzerland. Please contact us today.

High-quality packaging material for your move from Germany to Switzerland

Of course, no expense is spared when it comes to safety: A variety of moving materials help ensure that furniture and bulging boxes arrive safely. This includes not only the obligatory boxes but also all kinds of padding so that utensils, appliances, and fragile pieces of furniture look just as they did before. Bubble wrap and tissue paper are probably the most well-known materials that come up again and again when it comes to packing luggage properly. At Schwalbe Moving Company you get everything at a reasonable price, so you no longer have to drive around and equip yourself.

The experts estimate the volume of your moving belongings during an on-site appointment and can then tell you how much material is needed.

The size of the van and the final cost for your move from Germany to Switzerland are decided based on this.
