As in the rest of Switzerland, the living standard in Geneva is higher than in other European countries. For example, public transport works properly (in the city, a single tariff applies to the whole city area) you can import your car tax-free for a period of two years and a lot of attention is paid to ecology.
Together with this high standard of living, prices are higher than average in European countries. The cost of housing is also somewhat higher, whether you choose to rent or buy a home in Geneva. To make all these things affordable, wages in Switzerland and therefore also in Geneva are higher compared to the rest of Europe.
Geneva; How and what?
Before moving to Geneva for a short or long period of time, it is a good idea to get to know some of the city's custom and habits. Geneva has an international character where you can get a long way by speaking English. Do you speak German, French or Italian? Then you will certainly experience the benefits of it.
Furthermore, many large institutions and organizations are housed in Geneva, which gives a boost to (international) employment. You will find the WTO, WHO, the UN office, the ISO and so on.
Requirements
Before you move to Geneva, there are a number of things to arrange. Residents of the Schengen zone can move to this city without a visa, but they do need a residence permit if they are planning on staying longer than 3 months.
Expats from outside the Schengen zone always need a residence permit to work and live in Geneva.
