Life in Switzerland is indeed more expensive than in most other countries in Europe. But rest assured, this mainly applies to things you pay as a tourist, such as hotel stays and restaurant dinners. The fixed costs are lower relative to your salary than in the Netherlands or Belgium. Plus: you pay less tax. Win-win! And also nice: As a resident, you get 50% discount on public transport and mountain gondolas when you buy a halbtax for about 140 euros.
To work as a physiotherapist in Switzerland, you need recognition from the Swiss Red Cross (SRK). This is actually your ticket to working in Switzerland - it confirms that your degree and experience meet Swiss requirements. Sound exciting? Don't worry! At takeoff, we help you step by step through this process and arrange the application for you. All you have to do is provide the right documents, we'll do the rest. Here you'll find the complete roadmap.
You don't have to speak German fluently to get started in Switzerland right away! However, you must achieve the B2 level within two years - that's between “basic” and “fluent”. Of course, a good basis in the German language makes your start a lot more fun and easier. This way, you can communicate better with your patients and colleagues from day one. Good news: takeoff is currently developing its own German language course, specifically for physiotherapists. This is how we also help you with this challenge!
