Switzerland has long been a beacon for those seeking a harmonious balance of natural beauty, stability, and opportunity. But what makes it so attractive for relocation, and how does the process work?
In a recent conversation, Annabelle Common, head of sales – Alps at Naef Prestige | Knight Frank, and Fouad G. Sayegh, a leading attorney and tax expert, delved into the essential details of relocating to Switzerland.
Residency made simple for EU citizens
For European Union citizens, relocating to Switzerland is straightforward. Thanks to existing agreements, the process is primarily administrative, ensuring a smooth transition.
Navigating the process for non-EU citizens
For non-EU citizens, the journey involves negotiating tax arrangements, which play a critical role in securing residency permits. While the process is more complex, expert guidance can simplify it significantly.
What about British citizens post-Brexit?
Brexit has reshaped the relocation landscape for British citizens. While they now fall under non-EU regulations, Switzerland remains an accessible destination with the right tax and residency strategies in place.
