Tips and Advice on Switzerland from Your Fellow Malaysian Expats

Obviously, expat life in Switzerland goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Malaysians is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Swiss mentality and way of life. Malaysians in Switzerland are a part of our community, calling cities such as Geneva, Bern, Zurich, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Malaysians in Zurich, for example.

Wondering where to shop for Malaysian delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Swiss InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Malaysia.
  • On the Switzerland Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get nasi lemak in Zurich, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Switzerland has information on the nearest Malaysian embassy and many other institutions.

From the mountain resort of Zermatt to Interlaken, the outdoor and action sports capital of Switzerland, you can meet supportive and friendly Malaysian expats in Switzerland on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow Malaysians in Switzerland

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in Switzerland.
