  • Residence Permits: Although not directly within our scope, we provide valuable guidance on the necessary residence permits, which often influence the timing and methods of the move.
  • Specific Regulations: Each canton, including Zurich, may have minor variations. We are up-to-date on all local regulations, including those related to ZTL (Limited Traffic Zones) or public land occupation permits for loading/unloading.

Our experience allows you to face your Italy-Switzerland move with the certainty of respecting every single rule, transforming complexities into simplicity.
