Checklist: Moving to Switzerland

Check Solution
Residence & registration on arrival EU/EFTA citizens must register with the residents’ registration office within 14 days of arrival and must also apply for a residence permit. After that, you receive the official documents needed for authorities and banks.
Check your visa or residence permit Non-EU/EFTA citizens need a visa before entering the country; otherwise, the residence permit is required on arrival. All documents must also be submitted in full.
Arrange health and social insurance Compulsory health insurance must be taken out within 3 months of arrival. You should also check whether private supplementary insurance makes sense.
Clarify taxes & main place of residence Anyone living in Switzerland must register with the cantonal tax office, as the rules differ from canton to canton. Registration is also necessary for other public services.
Handle change of address / re-registration Your address must be updated with banks, employers, insurers and other relevant bodies. It is also advisable to inform local offices.
Check the import of your belongings from abroad When moving from non-EU countries, customs formalities must be observed, whereas for moves within the EU, import is often duty-free. Transport insurance should also be considered.
Arrange utility connections & housing Electricity, water, internet and other utilities must be registered with local providers, as rental contracts often do not include running costs. You should also look into local services early on.
Check language and integration programmes There are numerous language courses in German, French, Italian and Romansh. In addition, municipalities and cantons offer integration programmes, so a quick start is possible.
