What do I need to know before retiring in Zug?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Zug, they said...
"Expats considering retiring in Zug should be aware that the cost of living is high, and that the city is known for its low taxes. It is important to research the local housing market and to be aware of the language requirements for living in the area. Additionally, expats should be aware of the healthcare system in Switzerland, and the requirements for obtaining a residence permit. Finally, it is important to research the local culture and customs to ensure a smooth transition into life in Zug," remarked another expat in Switzerland.
"Pack your bags and get on over here!!! Seriously - make sure you get a good agent to help you before you start - the help we got before we came was invaluable and she is still helping us on and off now when we have questions (Nicky at Le Concierge); talk to your kids a lot in advance so they are in on the adventure from the start and try to get them to understand that things will be different and their favorite peanut butter may not be available (tip: Gourmet Garage in Zürich can be a lifesaver!); be prepared to spend a lot of energy at the beginning making new friends and getting involved - after a while you'll find one or two good friends and the effort will be worth it; above all keep an open mind, be patient with yourselves and the experience and don't worry if you have homesick days," said a member in Switzerland.
