What we take care of
One coordinated team for the whole move, so you never have to repeat your story.
Residence permit
The right permit for you and your family, whether you come from the EU or elsewhere, and whether you plan to work or not.
Lump-sum taxation
Whether taxation based on your living expenses may apply to you, how it compares with ordinary taxation, and which cantons offer it.
Tax ruling
Clarity from the tax authorities before you move, so you can decide with confidence.
Home search & purchase
Finding the right home to rent or buy, with the rules for foreign buyers handled properly.
Relocation & settling in
Schools, health insurance, banking, cars, staff and all the small things that make a new country feel like home.
Ongoing tax & wealth
Tax returns, wealth structuring questions and a trusted local contact, year after year.
Our approach
Discreet by default
Your situation stays between you and the people who need to know. No mailing lists, no pressure.
Honest from the start
If a route does not suit you, we say so early. Permits and tax arrangements are decided by the authorities, and we never pretend otherwise.
Grounded in Swiss practice
Our work is built on experienced Swiss fiduciary and tax advisers, with official sources behind every point we make.
In your language
We work in English, French and German, and we are glad to explain the Swiss system as often as you need.
Understand your route
Start with our short eligibility check, then a confidential conversation to confirm which permit and tax options fit your situation.
Prepare and apply
We choose the canton with you, prepare the file and speak with the authorities, so there are no surprises along the way.
Arrive and settle
Home, schools, insurance, banking and your first tax return: we stay close while your family finds its feet.
Moving from…
Every departure has its own rules. We know the questions that matter for where you live today.
United Kingdom
Leaving the UK after the end of the non-dom regime: residence tests, timing and Swiss options.
European Union
Free movement makes the permit simpler, but exit taxes and treaty rules still need care.
UAE & the Gulf
Moving from a low-tax base: residence routes for non-EU nationals and planning the change early.
United States & the Americas
US citizenship taxation, Canadian departure rules and Swiss permits for non-EU nationals.
Asia
From Singapore, Hong Kong or India: permit routes, banking documentation and timing.
Finding the right canton
In Switzerland, the canton shapes almost everything: your tax, your permit practice, your schools and your language. Lake Geneva, the Alps, Zug or Ticino each offer a different way of life.

Questions we often hear
Is there a Swiss golden visa?
Not in the sense of buying residence through an investment. Switzerland does offer routes for people who move without working here, for example as a financially independent person or a retiree, and these are assessed by the canton case by case.
Do I need to work in Switzerland to live here?
No. Many of the families we help do not take up work in Switzerland. The right route depends mainly on your citizenship, your plans and your circumstances.
How long does the process take?
It depends on your route and on the canton. After a first conversation we give you a realistic timeline, including what can be prepared before you move.
What does your support cost?
Every family's situation is different, so we do not publish prices. After a first call we send you a clear written proposal, with no obligation.
Is the eligibility check confidential?
Yes. Your answers stay in your browser. Nothing is sent to us unless you choose to share your result through the contact form.
Your first conversation is with a person, not a form.
Tell us a little about where you live today and what you have in mind. An adviser replies to you personally, in English, French or German.
