Why Summited?

Our Approach Works

Before working for our clients, we worked for the Swiss government, refining the national practice to enable these processes to work.

Relocations to Switzerland are unique because visas, residency permits, tax negotiations and most everything else are handled with the canton rather than with a national authority.

We start with finding the Canton which best suits you. We then build an end-to-end plan, complete documentation and prepare accounts before bringing in our trusted network of canton-specific lawyers and advisors to execute on your plan at the local level.

We stay as your partner and point of contact throughout the entire process, pushing things through on your behalf until you're settled in your new home.
