An Overview on Moving to Switzerland

If you’re moving to Switzerland you probably already know that it is renowned for their strong economy, particularly in regards to banking and the finance industry. You may be surprised to learn that Bern, not Zurich is the capital of Switzerland. Zurich is actually just the largest city. NY International Shipping wants to point out if you’re moving to Switzerland that the currency there is the franc. You will need to exchange your currency, which is usually done while immigrating to Switzerland. Ask your relocation specialist how to find a bank close to your new destination so that you can exchange your currency for moving to Switzerland efficiently. There are three main languages spoken in Switzerland—German, French and Italian. Romanish is spoken as a secondary language to the three primary ones. If you are moving to Switzerland it is a good idea to begin learning one or all of the primary languages. This will allow you to assimilate into the culture faster and will make your daily activities much simpler and less stressful. If you’re moving to Switzerland it is also great for those who enjoy winter sports. With some very impressive mountain ranges, Switzerland offers the perfect conditions for winter sports between the temperatures and impressive mountain ranges. Away from the Alps, however, summers in Switzerland do get fairly warm. It is probably good to note that if you are moving to Switzerland you can enjoy the benefits of a highly developed network of roads as well as public transportation options. Even the Alps cannot prevent you from traveling throughout Switzerland by train or by car. When moving to Switzerland you should definitely consult your local Swiss Consulate on the requirements and procedures for obtaining a Swiss visa. Doing so will ensure that you are able to acquire one if necessary prior to your overseas moving date. If you need any assistance, your international relocation specialist is a wonderful resource that can attend to any of your questions or concerns.

Comparing Overseas Moving Companies

If you’ve already started comparing overseas moving companies for moving to Switzerland, you’re probably feeling a bit overwhelmed and confused as to exactly what you should be looking for. NY International Shipping has over a decade of experience specializing in overseas moving, which is why we can provide this comprehensive break down of the most desirable key factors you should look for in the overseas moving company you use while moving to Switzerland. The first thing you should do is start looking at referrals provided by the overseas moving companies you are considering that are written from satisfied former clients. If a company doesn’t have any, it’s probably not a good sign. Also, you can get a decent feel as to what past clients have to say about an international moving company by checking out consumer review websites. These third-party review sites allow former clients to rate companies based on their past experiences with them. This can be a great way to get to know an overseas moving company if a decent number of former clients has received them. Next you may want to consider visiting the physical office of each of the overseas relocation companies you are strongly considering. That way you can get a firsthand look at how they conduct themselves and handle customer service. While you’re at it, you may want to ask them what organizations they are affiliated with or are members of. Overseas moving companies that are dedicated to the industry should be associated with certain key organizations related to the industry. For example, NY International Shipping is affiliated with or a member of the following organizations:

Employee Relocation Council/Worldwide ERC®
Foreign Commerce Club of New York
IAM (International Association of Movers)
NY/NJ Foreign Freight Forwarders & Brokers Association Inc.
YP 35 (Young International Movers)
