About HowToSwiss

HowToSwiss is a free, signup-free relocation guide for everyone moving to Switzerland. Built by expats who learned the hard way, it covers all 26 cantons with permit timelines, Anmeldung steps, mandatory health insurance, tax basics and the deadlines that matter.

What we publish

Practical, canton-aware checklists; in-depth guides on permits, taxes and insurance; and calculators for salary, tax and cost of living. Every guide cites official Swiss sources (ch.ch, sem.admin.ch, bag.admin.ch, estv.admin.ch).

How we make money

We don't run advertising or affiliate links inside the guides. The site is free to use, your checklist progress stays in your browser, and we don't require an account.
