Moving from Berlin to Switzerland

Untouched nature, perfect organization, and high salaries. Moving from Berlin to Switzerland makes sense for many people. In fact, cities such as Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, and Bern have become increasingly attractive in recent years.

The Alpine country with its more than eight million inhabitants is also dependent on skilled workers from abroad and is in a particularly good position due to the German language. However, there are some special features to consider when moving from Berlin to Switzerland.

Blitz Umzüge Berlin is a proven specialist for transfers from Berlin to Switzerland. Always remember that the Swiss Confederation is not part of the European Union and special customs rules apply.

In other words, moving from Berlin to Switzerland cannot be compared to moving within the country or to an EU country and involves special challenges.

Relocating from Berlin to Switzerland

Don’t worry: As an experienced moving company, we have already made a lot of moves from Berlin to Switzerland. By the way, in Switzerland it is called “moving”, but that’s just a side note. Our approach is the same as for a domestic move.

We will be happy to make you a binding offer on-site and, if you wish, also provide you with the necessary moving boxes.

Of course, we also take care of the necessary precautions on site – in this case in Switzerland – such as setting up no-parking zones, etc. But it is even more important to follow some tips for a successful move from Berlin to Switzerland.

Let’s take the moving van for example. In some cases, it may happen that it is weighed at the border. The customs department gives clear guidelines that the border should not be exceeded in terms of weight.

The background to this is the night and weekend driving restrictions for trucks, which also apply to the 7.5-ton trucks often used for moving. Another aspect is the opening hours of customs clearance, which should be adhered to as much as possible.

Last but not least, the question arises whether you should move your residence to Switzerland immediately or leave it in Germany for the time being. This question is relevant in connection with so-called relocation goods.

The rule here is that the imported goods must have been personally used for at least six months and must still be used after import.

Sounds complicated? Don’t worry: we are familiar with the topic of moving from Berlin to Switzerland and know which forms are required in which context.

When you work with us, costs are kept to a minimum and are always calculated fairly. Our aim is to provide a service that is both cost-effective and completely professional.
