 Public Transportation

Getting around Switzerland is easy!

The public transportation in the larger cities of Switzerland is very efficient and clean.

You will easily be able to get to work or other areas around your new city.

Public transportation is fairly inexpensive, so many people choose to use public transportation in lieu of owning a car.

If you do decide to ship your car overseas, contact IntlMOVE to ship your car to Switzerland along with your household goods.

 Budget

Switzerland can be a very expensive place to live, so make sure you budget before you go.

The quality of life in Switzerland is one of the best in the world, but the cost of living can be more than you expect.

Get a good idea of the cost of housing, food, transportation, entertainment and monthly bills to determine a budget before you make the overseas move to Switzerland.

Follow the Law

There are a lot of rules in Switzerland and they need to be followed.

Even when you are driving, Swiss police have been known to hand out fines to individuals traveling only a couple of kilometers above the speed limit.

 Medical Facilities

Before you move overseas, arrange for an international health care plan or find out what is offered by your new company.

The healthcare in Switzerland is very good.

You will find that health facilities, including hospitals, are clean and efficient.

 Leasing an Apartment

When you move into an apartment, make sure to note anything that was broken or unclean when you moved in.

You can take pictures to keep a record of the move-in condition of your rental house or apartment.

When you move you, there will likely be a very thorough inspection which could cost you a lot of money if you moved out and didn’t clean.

A lot of people even hire professional cleaners because landlords will check everything from air vents to windowpanes.

Drinking Age

If you are moving overseas with teenagers, be aware the drinking age is 16.

Talk to your children about alcohol consumption before you move to Switzerland so they can drink responsibly.

Make a plan with your children about going out with friends and let them know that being able to drink comes with a great deal of responsibility. 

Teach your children about drinking and driving and make them aware of the public transportation that is available.

 Pets

Pets are very important to Swiss families and are allowed in most stores and other buildings.

Don’t be surprised if you see pets in restaurants, grocery stores and other venues.

Dogs are usually allowed in most shops as long as they are leashed.

Language of Switzerland

English is spoken widely throughout Switzerland, but it is not one of the four major languages.

German is the most widely spoken language in Switzerland, which is followed by French.

Italian and Rumantsch are spoke by a very small percentage of the Swiss population.

The language that is spoken in your city widely depends on what area of Switzerland you are moving to.

Do your research on the language before you move to Switzerland.

When you move to Switzerland, you will have a lot to learn about the culture of the Swiss people.

There are a lot of great things to enjoy in Switzerland, including its chocolate.
