The problem

Die Schweiz ist anders und nobody explains it properly.

Offizielle Seiten geben die juristische Version. HR gibt das Minimum. Reddit liefert widersprüchliche Meinungen von 2019. Und jeder Fehler hier kostet: die Auftenthaltsbewilligung, die Wohnung, oder den Lohn.

Permits & paperwork

B, C, G, L: was jede Bewilligung erlaubt, was bei Jobverlust passiert, was die Verlängerung wirklich verlangt.

The apartment game

Rejected five times already. Swiss landlords want specific documents in a specific order. Most expats don't have them.

Is my salary fair?

Die Zahlen sehen hoch aus bis Steuern, Krankenkasse und Säule 2 abgezogen sind. Was wirklich übrig bleibt.

Where to actually live

Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Zug. Each has different tax, vibe, and community. The right answer depends on your job and family.

Tax traps

Withholding tax, Quellensteuer correction, what changes after 3 years. Most expats overpay for years without noticing.

Unwritten work culture

The Swiss rules your contract doesn't cover. How to navigate probation without making a mistake that costs you the job.

What you get

One call. Your situation. A clear path forward.

Jeder Call ist auf deinen Fall zugeschnitten. Du gehst raus und weisst, was zu tun ist keine weitere To-do-Liste zum Recherchieren.

Your permit, decoded. Nicht das Standard-FAQ, was zu deiner Nationalität, deinem Arbeitgeber, deinem Vertrag passt.

A real salary benchmark. Ob dein Lohn fair ist für deine Rolle, deinen Kanton, deine Erfahrung.

An apartment strategy that works. What to prepare, what to say, how to stand out as an expat applicant.

Where to live for your profile. Based on commute, tax situation, family setup, and budget.

Tax moves most expats miss. What to claim, what changes at year three, what to check before your next return.

An honest answer to your question. Nicht "es kommt darauf an", die echte Antwort, mit der Nuance, die für dich gilt.

Walk out clear

Nach dem Call weisst du genau, was zuerst zu tun ist und worauf du achten musst.

Who you're talking to

Swiss by birth. Expat experience by proximity.

Ich bin Pascal, Schweizer. Ich bin in diesem System aufgewachsen. Bewilligungen, Mietklauseln, Steuerregeln, die ungeschriebenen Codes am Arbeitsplatz. Ich kenne nicht nur die offizielle Version. Ich weiss, wie es wirklich läuft.

Meine Partnerin ist EU-Expat. Mehrere enge Freunde sind aus dem Ausland hierhergezogen. Ich habe ihre Verwirrung aus nächster Nähe gesehen und weiss, wo die offizielle Antwort nicht der Realität entspricht.

Ich betreibe How2Switzerland, um diese Lücke zu schliessen, verständlich, mit echten Zahlen, ohne Jargon. Im Call wenden wir das alles auf deine Situation an.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

A live 30 or 60-minute video call with me, plus a short pre-call questionnaire so I'm prepared. For the 60-minute call, I also send a written recap of the key points afterwards.

After I review your application, you receive a personal booking link with a Stripe checkout. You only pay once we've agreed I can actually help with your case.

Most of my callers aren't, they're 1 to 6 months out from moving. That's actually the best time to talk, because we can prevent the mistakes instead of fixing them later.

No, it's practical guidance from someone who lives inside the system. For binding legal counsel (e.g. a contested permit decision) you need a licensed Swiss lawyer, and I'll tell you if that's the case.

If you finish the call without at least one clear, actionable answer specific to your situation, you get a full refund. No forms, no debate.

Yes. I'm Swiss, German and English both work. You can tell me your preference in the application form.

Stop guessing about your Swiss situation.

One wrong permit move, one lease you didn't understand, one salary you didn't negotiate, each costs more than this call. And if it doesn't help, you don't pay.
