A change of residence especially to Switzerland, although it is our neighboring country, requires perfect preparation and the completion of some formalities. A checklist does an excellent job and provides an overview. You should know that you have to deregister at the registration office of your previous municipality and register at the new place of residence within two weeks. You will need the deregistration confirmation to enter Switzerland. Likewise, the rental contract, employment contract, identity card or passport and the vehicle documents of your own vehicle, so that this can be registered in Switzerland, must be kept ready. Furthermore, the customs administration requires a plausible list of the relocation goods being carried in order to be able to import them duty-free and without hesitation. A specific form is provided for this purpose. Only protected animals and exotic plants are subject to special import regulations. If sensitive goods, such as an art object, are being moved, Geuer will also take care of this special transport. If it is not possible to move all the furniture into the new apartment immediately, we provide a warehouse for interim storage.

In addition, we are happy to help with errands to the office and take care of the registration at the Residence Registration Office or obtain the residence permit necessary to be allowed to live in Switzerland.
