Would really appreciate if someone can give me some direction and information around the process and documentation required for unsubscribing kids from elementary school, when moving abroad.
Info:
Kids will be 1st grade and 4th grade starting in August/September new school year
Citizenship: Swiss and Non-EU
Destination to move abroad: Europe but not EU, or UAE (yet to be decided)
Additional questions:
can the kids live and get educated abroad, but still have an address and health insurance in Switzerland, just not go to school here?
both or one parent, still remains with an address and health insurance in Switzerland, while kids live abroad and dont have anymore a swiss address?
You can have an address anywhere you want, the question is where you have residence and live.
What you write indicates that the Swiss parent will remain in Switzerland (or at least spend lots of time here), that’s definitely possible as it’s their right. What that means for everything else is impossible to determine from the outside.
Contact your Einwohneramt and see what they say. It may affect taxation, too, depending on how many days the one spouse spends in Switzerland (180-185 days per year being the likely threshold). Make sure to mention what you plan for the children, that’ll probably determine where the matrimonial home is considered to be. They’ll also be interested to learn that the children will move abroad because that affects the needed school resources.
Swiss healthcare is pretty much useless if living abroad because only services provided in Switzerland are paid for. Exceptions may exist, like a Swiss resident falling ill abroad and being impossible to transport, but that won’t materially affect your situation.
That is not strictly true, depending on what level of insurance you have. The higher levels often cover treatment abroad, even elective surgery. However the OP would need to check their policy and check for exclusions (particularly with regards to countries).
Agreed and if you are seconded to another country but keep your Swiss contra t you are in fact obliged to keep your insurance and they will cover abroad.
