Greetings, if any of you may divulge some information about moving to Switzerland from Germany?
What are some major and minor differences and how to best approach moving there?
As said above me and my wife got a recommendation to move to Switzerland as a better option to Germany, i’m from the Balkans and my wife is German.
The main reason i’m asking is because if i’m moving there then i’m moving with intent to be a permanent resident, i don’t see a reason to make long term plans on a short term opportunity.
Oh don’t worry about efficiency. ReallyZen is talking about the efficiency in the official administrations.
Like getting your driving licence converted to a Swiss one, renewing your passport and stuff like that.
The baseline is that you pay for it but it is done in a minute (driving licence you get it the same day you go to the automobile office, you just wait 30 minutes max and they give it to you. Passport is something like during the week. Not 2 month, one week.)
This kind of efficiency. And don’t worry the workers in those administrations are not overworked at all^^
In the private sector it is somewhat the same, nobody is being pressured for efficiency, you just do you work professionally and that’s enough. Some companies might pressure their staff (because the boss is dumb?) but then they will have a high turnover and might fail in the long run.
Oh well that’s a bit reassuring.
When i converted my driving licence to a German one i think it took 2 weeks, but it’s simply because they don’t want to modernize, even my company went back to whiteboards and magnets because they don’t want to invest into a proper IT department.
