Private Office · Geneva
For families in Brazil
A move to Geneva, a winter in the Alps, a specialist in Lausanne. If your family lives in Brazil and needs things done in Switzerland or Europe, we are your contact here, and we speak Portuguese.
Brazilians can visit Switzerland for up to 90 days without a visa. Living here, studying or working is different: that needs a permit, and we prepare the file together with an immigration lawyer.
São Paulo is four or five hours behind Geneva, depending on the season. We answer on WhatsApp in your hours, not only in ours, in Portuguese, English or French.
What families in Brazil ask us for
- A chalet in Gstaad for Christmas, with a chef.
- School places in Geneva for when we move.
- A full check-up in a Swiss clinic, then a week in the mountains.
- Residence permits for the family, with a lawyer.
- A watch from a Geneva maker with a long waiting list.
- Our flat in Lisbon looked after while we are in São Paulo.

Questions
Do you speak Portuguese?
Yes. Write to us in Portuguese, English or French.
Do Brazilians need a visa for Switzerland?
Not for a visit of up to 90 days. To live, study or work here, you need a permit, and we prepare that file with a lawyer.
Can you help us move to Geneva?
Yes: the home, the schools, the permits, insurance and the first months. We start with the schools, because places go early.
Do you only work in Switzerland?
No. We are in Geneva, but we also take care of things in Lisbon, Paris, London and the rest of Europe.
Tell us what you need.
We read every message ourselves and usually reply within the hour.
