Hello everyone.
Currenly I live in Munich. The life here is expensive and it's impossible to find a 3 rooms flat for a normal price, since I am planning to move my familly here (we are 3 people in total). I am a web developer and from what I can see, my current salary is 52K which is again, low for Munich. I have experience of 5 years and planning either to change a job or a country. When my wife will move here, she need to learn German and gain some education to be able to work, and we have a kid. That means I will be the only one who will work for a several years...
What I have in mind now, to move to Konstanz or Singen and find a job in Switzerland to work there. For instance - Winterthur. I can have a car so its not a problem if I drive 60 km every day in one way.
The reason of it - higher salaries in Switzerland and we perhaps can buy a small house in Germany. Something like that.
Is here someone who have a good experience in a similar situation? Who works in Switzerland and lives in Germany? Is it worth it?
Thank you in advance!
Go to google and type in "Grenzgängerberatung".
And to start: whether you can get a G permit depends on your nationality?
Thanks, from my understanding it is easy to get a G permit if you have found a job in Switzerland and especially if u are originally from EU. (like me)
Yes, but then you didn ́t state your nationality and that is important to get a G permit or not.
By the nationality I am latvian
From what I see and read now, it is financially good when working in Swiss and leaving in DE.
Is here anyone who do this for a couple of months / years?
Just want to know if this is really worth it.
Again, go check out the Grenzgängerberatung.
Yes, food is cheaper, health insurance includes the family and things like that but taxes are much much higher than here.
There is no no or yes here, it depends on your circumstances, where you want to live, what your income is and a lot more.
Have you calculated how much in taxes you're going to pay? Indeed, rent and food is cheaper in Germany, and health care is "free", but you pay close to 50% in taxes.
