End-to-end support for leadership hires and their families.
Relocating a senior hire is a lot of moving parts. We take care of them.
Decades on the ground across Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich and beyond. We know the cantonal offices, the landlords, the schools and the tax advisors that matter for senior moves.
You are our client — not a property manager, not a school, not a bank. Every recommendation we make is built around what's right for your family and your role.
One senior consultant from first call to handover, supported by our specialists for permits, home search, schools and move logistics. You always know who to call.

"When a senior hire moves with their family, every detail matters. We make sure none gets missed."
Every move is personally supervised to ensure that the standards of care and precision associated with our family name are met with every single transition.
We start with a call to map the family's needs, the role, the timing, and any constraints — permit type, school year, tax setup — so nothing is missed.
We assess eligibility, prepare the file, and coordinate with HR and the cantonal migration office. You see a clear timeline and what each step needs from you.
We tap into our local network for property options that match the family, organise viewings, and shortlist schools in parallel so the family's calendar stays intact.
Customs, removal, registrations, utilities, bank, insurance — we coordinate the logistics so the family's first weeks feel manageable, not chaotic.
Integration support continues after move-in: introductions to local networks, follow-ups on permits and contracts, and a single point of contact for whatever comes up.
For non-EU/EFTA nationals, permits go through annual quotas and three approval levels — typically 8–12 weeks. EU/EFTA hires are faster, usually 2–3 weeks once the file is complete. We build the timing into the offer process so the start date is realistic.
Our focus is finding the right rental and getting the family settled fast. For purchase, we connect you with trusted real-estate and legal partners who handle Swiss property law and the Lex Koller rules for foreign buyers.
You work with one senior consultant from start to finish — not a queue ticket. We're a family-led firm; the people who run Welcome Service are the people on your file.
Every transition begins with a private conversation. Share your requirements and a senior consultant will respond within 24 hours.
