Relocating to Geneva from abroad felt daunting at first, but the team made everything surprisingly smooth. From organising property viewings to coordinating school visits and setting up utilities, they handled every detail with care and efficiency. I felt supported at every step and settled in much faster than expected.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR HOME SEARCH SERVICE?
Our property search includes tailored research, scheduled viewings, application support, lease review, and move-in coordination. We also assist with utility setup and provide ongoing local guidance.
Do you offer post-move support?
Yes, we assist with local orientation, bank account setup, insurance registration, and more to ensure a smooth transition.
DO YOU ASSIST WITH SCHOOL ENROLMENT?
We do not enrol children in schools or select schools on behalf of clients. However, we provide an overview of available options and arrange private appointments with the schools you choose, including international, bilingual, and Swiss public schools.
Do you help with residence permits?
Residence permits in Geneva are typically handled by employers. We do not provide assistance with residence permit applications.
Is English widely spoken in Geneva?
Yes, English is commonly spoken in Geneva, especially in international organisations, banks, and luxury real estate. However, French is the official language and dominates in everyday life, especially with régies (property managing agencies), Landlords, schools, and administrative offices. Knowing some French will significantly ease your integration and expand your housing options.
How does Swiss healthcare work for new arrivals?
All residents in Geneva are legally required to take out basic Swiss health insurance (LaMal) within 3 months of arrival. The system is private but regulated, and each adult pays a monthly premium to the provider of their choice. Coverage includes GP visits, hospital stays, and medication, with options for supplementary insurance for dental and private clinics.
