What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Zurich. They wrote...

"Expatriates often find adjusting to a new cultural environment challenging. Making friends and gaining access to a strong social network can be difficult. Additionally, language barriers can make communicating and navigating everyday tasks difficult. The bureaucracy associated with visas and residency permits can also be overwhelming. Other issues faced by expats include homesickness, loneliness and struggling to understand the nuances of local customs and etiquette," wrote a member who made the move to Zurich, Switzerland.
