Switzerland is not an immigrant country, so it is very difficult and basically impossible to apply for skilled migration. Investment immigrants need to invest at least 654.38 million Swiss francs in Switzerland, which is not necessarily the case. If you want to increase your odds, you need to invest nearly 10 million yuan. According to the current law, you must have lived in Switzerland for 12 years before you can become a Swiss citizen.

If the landlord has emigrated to settle down and intends to live there permanently, it is a good choice to move there, because moving by sea is not very expensive, but it takes a long time, and many countries have many preferential policies for moving for the first time after emigration. You don't have to pay taxes for the first time, so you can bring more things for the first time. When moving, you need to find a professional moving company to do better, because professional moving companies will provide better services. My aunt moved to the United States, and I accompanied her to many companies. I found that many domestic companies are all doing freight transportation under the banner of international relocation. I feel uneasy about asking them to do it. Later, when we saw a company called Hailong storage and transportation company, it was really an international move, and we were much more relieved. Later, I let them do it. The service is very professional, you can find it online.
