Hello! I am Elpida from Greece and I will be grateful for some information about a middle cost of living in Switzerland (Geneva and suburbs). Is enough for a couple,聽 annual income about 100.000chf (gross) in spite of living there is very expensive?

Hi Elpida,

Yes, 100'000 CHF gross per year should be enough, in spite of the fact that Geneva is one of the most expensive places in Switzerland to live.

Living just over the border in France may be a cheaper alternative though.

Hope this helps,
Twan.
