About Swiss Expat Guide

Swiss Expat Guide is written by Roman Balzan, a builder and long-term Swiss resident, for people arriving in Switzerland and trying to make sense of it.

Why this exists

Moving to Switzerland is unusually opaque. Registration deadlines, mandatory insurance, communal taxes, unwritten social rules, every one of them small, all of them different from home. Swiss Expat Guide is the field guide we wish had existed when we arrived.
