Here's a short introduction to our Pensions & Insurance section for Switzerland.Overseas insurance
Understanding overseas insurance is essential for expats, whether it be medical, work-related, life insurance, insuring your house or car, or taking out special insurance relevant to your lifestyle. Some countries require self-employed expats to insure themselves.
Expatica’s Pensions and Insurance channel provides an overview of compulsory and optional insurance in Switzerland. The bottom line is: insure yourself, your home, car and any other valuable property. Make sure you understand the intricacies of the local insurance system, or you might find yourself out of pocket in the event of a crisis.
