To know

What you need to know before moving Monaco - Switzerland

The Swiss customs

Switzerland is not a member of the European Union. Any move from Monaco involves a passage through customs. By transferring your main residence, you can benefit from a tax exemption on your personal effects under certain conditions. We manage these procedures for you.

The declaration in the Principality

Leaving Monaco implies reporting to the authorities of the Principality. So that this step remains a formality, we can guide you to the right contacts and indicate the documents to prepare for your removal.

Planning lead times

A Monaco - Switzerland move is prepared ideally 4 to 8 weeks in advance for large volumes. For smaller moves or emergencies, we can intervene in shorter timeframes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Monaco - Switzerland removal

Do I have to pay customs duties to move to Switzerland?
Not necessarily. If you transfer your main residence to Switzerland and you meet the conditions provided by the Swiss regulations, you can benefit from a tax exemption on your personal effects and your furniture. We support you in the constitution of the file to maximize your chances of exemption.
How long does a Monaco - Switzerland removal take?
Allow generally one to two days for a standard apartment. The transport between Monaco and Geneva takes about 3 to 4 hours of travel, while Zurich is about 6 to 7 hours. For large volumes or more remote destinations (Zurich, Saint-Moritz), we plan for two days.
Can you transport my artworks at the same time as my furniture?
Yes. For works requiring specific attention, our fine art handlers intervene with materials and protocols adapted. If your collection is significant, we can organize a dedicated transport as part of your main removal.
Do you manage the transport of my wine cellar?
Yes. We offer transport in refrigerated or isothermal vehicles to preserve your bottles in optimal conditions. The packaging is adapted to avoid any movement or excessive vibration during the journey.

Do you intervene throughout Switzerland?
Yes, we intervene throughout the Swiss territory: Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, Lugano, Basel, Bern, Lucerne, Verbier, Gstaad, Saint-Moritz and other destinations. Remote areas or those with difficult access do not pose any particular difficulty.
How long in advance should I organize my removal?
For standard volume removals, we recommend contacting us 3 to 4 weeks in advance. For large volumes or peak periods (end of the year, summer), 6 to 8 weeks are preferred. In case of emergency, we will do our best to respond to your needs according to the current schedule.
Will my belongings be insured during the transport, including at the passage through customs?
Yes. Our all-risk insurance covers you for the entire duration of the operation, from loading in your home until delivery at your new home, including at the border.
