Right. But you're moving to Switzerland. It's usually prohibited by default.

Do check with them about this. I know this isn't entirely relevant but when we left Australia we were offered the option of supsending our health insurance for up to four years. No harm in asking if your Axa Insurance can be suspended, they can only say no.

Ok. I'll look into it too. Thanks.

You're right, no harm to ask. Thanks.

Good idea to ask for 'suspension' of Axa. The problem is that should you (and i sincerely hope this won't be the case) develop some illness or have an accident whilst in Switzerland, they may well refuse to take you on again or put up your premiums accordingly.

I know, that's why I was hoping at first that my insurance would be valid in switzerland so I didn't lose my premium, but alas is not.

Does anyone have any information about EURES? It's supposed to be an organisation, that their main purpose is to assist and provide information to workers and companies who want to benefit of the EU principle of the free movement of persons.

Anyone who used them?

I'm not sure it's 100% not possible. As I said way up there, you need to go talk to the people decide these things. Explain to them the whole situation and they will best advise you.
