I'm preparing to leave Switzerland in a few months
This is what I'm understanding so far: as a EU citizen, the funds that were paid on my 2nd pillar account will have to stay in Switzerland (unless I retire, use the funds to buy a house or start working as self employed).
At the moment I have just spoken with my bank, CS, about opening a 2nd pillar account.
If anyone has done the same when leaving Switzerland, what is the experience after a few years?
One more question: the bank asked me a "Freizügigkeit Abschluss" from my previous employer. I called the employer, and they told me that I need to request it personally to the company managing the pension fund (in this case Zurich Insurance).
