Moving to Switzerland
Moving to Switzerland: your roadmap from registration to your first tax return
A structured roadmap for your start in Switzerland – with a clear sequence of steps and all deadlines in one place.
When you move to Switzerland, you have to deal with many things at the same time in the first few weeks: registration, permit, health insurance, bank account, insurance. PROFINIO puts the steps in a sensible order and reminds you of the deadlines.
What a good start includes
Authorities
- Registration with the municipality
- Residence permit
- Address and family details
Protection
- Health insurance within the deadline
- Household and personal liability
- Re-register your vehicle
Finances
- Bank account and payment transactions
- Review withholding tax
- Register for retirement savings
Health insurance after moving
Anyone who takes up residence in Switzerland must, in principle, take out insurance with a Swiss health insurer within a statutory deadline. We show you which deadline applies to you and compare suitable offers.
Taxes in the first year
Foreign employees without a settlement permit are generally taxed at source. Whether and when a tax return is additionally required or advisable depends on your situation – we clarify this with you.
