Personally, I don’t like the fact that there is a lack of stability in Madrid, both legally and politically, which creates a risk of losing money when investing… and the laws aren’t enforced… and nothing ever happens… and the legal system moves at an extremely slow pace. — Swiss expat living in Madrid

Why Swiss expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Swiss members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Liebe Freunde - do you remember what we did last September? Na ja, ich auch nicht... Aber ein geselliges Bierchen nach einer langen Sommerpause ist immer gut. Ganz egal ob im Bierhaus oder in der Cervercería. Lasst uns am gleichen Ort zusammenkommen. Es gibt sicher viel zu erzählen. Ich freue mich
