Expat Chat Episode 195 - Moving to and living in Switzerland for Australian Expats

Welcome to episode 195 of the #ExpatChat podcast with Atlas Wealth hosts Adam Prentice, Financial Planner - EMEA, and Patrick Canion, Head of Advice, Switzerland. They discuss the key considerations for Australian expats moving to and living in Switzerland. In this first of a two-part series, Adam and Patrick break down the real cost-of-living trade-offs, why everyday expenses can be eye-wateringly high while taxes stay relatively low, and a mortgage culture that flips everything Aussies think they know about paying off debt. They also unpack how Switzerland’s cantons work, what to expect from the rental and property markets in cities like Zurich and Geneva, and give a first look at Switzerland’s unique three-pillar retirement system. Part two will dive into leaving Switzerland, retirement, and the pension implications for Australians heading home, so stay tuned.
