What do I need to know before moving to Geneva?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Geneva, they said...

"Geneva is a beautiful city with a lot to offer expats. It is important to be aware of the cost of living in Geneva, as it is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Expats should also be aware of the language barrier, as French is the official language of Geneva. It is also important to research the visa requirements for Switzerland, as different visas are required for different lengths of stay. Additionally, expats should be aware of the cultural differences between Geneva and their home country, as this can help them adjust to their new home. Finally, expats should take the time to explore the city and get to know the local culture, as this will help them feel more at home in Geneva," remarked another expat who made the move to Geneva, Switzerland.
