What to do before emigrating
You certainly don’t want to forget anything and plan and organize everything in good time. The article “ What should be terminated and returned when you emigrate ” is a useful help. In some cases it makes sense to take removal goods with you. On the other hand, this is often not worthwhile or you need some things, such as your car, until the end. In addition, one would like to sell such valuables as possible at a good price.
Depending on where you live, it is advisable to obtain a non-binding offer for the car purchase. Auto-Sofortkauf.ch, for example, is a serious provider for German-speaking Switzerland. For French-speaking Switzerland, we can recommend achat-de-voiture.ch. The vehicle is picked up at the desired location and paid for immediately in cash.
