What are Swisster Guides?

The Guides are areas on the website where you can get Swiss-specific information about topics that affect your day-to-day life. Living in Switzerland can sometimes be a complicated affair, regardless whether you have been here for a week or a life time. We have compiled different resources so you and your family can quickly and thoroughly understand the different aspect of Swiss bureaucracy, living obligations and lifestyle choices. Each Guide has a qualified expert to answer all you queries on the covered subjects.
