Greetings to all,

My family and I would like to move to Switzerland. I am finishing up my degree in computer science and game design. My wife is in property management. My Uncle and Aunt already live in Switzerland and we visit them as often as we can.

I am here to get help in putting a plan together for moving to there. I would like my daughter to experience a new country before she gets too accustomed to this one. To be honest, the task of figuring out all of the details for the transition seems daunting. I am not really sure where to start. I hope I can find some assistance and a friend from Switzerland here. Thank you.

Hello and welcome on board !

I would suggest that you read the Living in Switzerland guide for expats to gather as much information as possible. Have you contacted the Switzerland embassy in your country yet ?
