I read software engineers make the most in Switzerland followed by Germany, I hope to live in Europe one day. I'm worried about learning another language though.

You are beautiful. I heard there is a 1% tax based off your wealth for anyone wanting to become a resident in Switzerland, so if you worth $2m, it's $20, 000 a year tax. I want to retire to Europe. I did like Austria but I hear it's getting a little restrictive. I also saw a video that housing in Zurich is hard to find and expensive. Thank you for your video.

Fortunately I recovered the EU citizenship in 2006 having a passport from Slovakia. The situation that I faced in my work search in Germany 2009 was a shameful experience. I decided in 2014 to include the information in my profile of LinkedIn about the shameful experience in Germany because there are no words to justify the legal uncertainty, scorn and corruption that I experienced in Germany by the government authorities. Switzerland is the only country in Europe that guarantees respect and legal certainty following the laws. I speak Hochdeutsch as native pronunciation and my secondary languages are Spanish and English. Thanks Iris very much for the information.

Very good presentation of visa issues for employment in Switzerland for non-Swiss workers. You may want to add the "intra-company" visas that are available for people who have worked for a company outside the EU for at least one year and are transferred to their fully owned Swiss subsidiary - provided they can proof that they have special skills that are needed to transfer knoweldge from the "Mother Company" to the Swiss subsidiary.

If you are a EU citizen the process should be quite smooth
For non EU you better be highly skilled and have an employer to sponsor you
Tip: it's very expensive here
Whatever you think is a good wage, double or even triple it to live in Switzerland

[monithetraveller]

That was so straightforward and well-explained! Thank you!! :)

[tristancattelet]

Very interesting video, it's complete and you explain well the problems that we can face as a non-swiss person living in Switzerland. I just have a question : Where did you found your apartment or student room ? Maybe on Airbnb ?

[echolot]

sometimes it seems that foreigners have an easier time finding jobs than us returning Swiss from abroad.

[Pharesm]

Its not just that, Switzerland stays neutral and is not part of the EU.
And I'm looking for an outdoor job, like on a farm or tourist guide etc...

[grofedition]

Hello, thks for the nice videos :).I am an EU citizen planning to move to Switzerland and I have a simple question: How long does it take to get the residence permit with presumably having the job offer from employer and the rest of compulsory documents.Also, can you start working while you are waiting for the Residence permit or do you get residence permit the same day you applied? Thks a lot in advance.
