Executive Briefing

  • A successful relocation takes 6-12 months of pre-planning before the physical move.
  • Banking compliance and "Tax Rulings" must be secured before residency permits are filed.
  • School admissions for elite institutes begin 1-2 years in advance.

Moving to Switzerland is not merely a logistical challenge; it is a regulatory, financial, and social maneuver. For our clients, precision is paramount. The difference between a stressful move and a seamless arrival lies in the sequence of operations.

The Critical Path

We have distilled decades of relocation experience into a strategic timeline. While every client's situation is unique—ranging from EU nationals seeking B-Permits to Non-EU nationals negotiating Lump-Sum agreements—the milestones remain consistent.

Below is the standard trajectory for a Welcome Service client. Hover over the milestones to reveal specific concierge advice for each stage.

Post-Arrival Integration

The timeline does not end with the handover of keys. True integration is a multi-year process involving language acquisition, social networking, and understanding the subtle etiquette of the Confederation. We remain at your side well beyond Month 12.
