New to Switzerland and this forum

[Hbee]

Hello
I have just moved to Switzerland from Australia to be with my swiss partner. We live in Valais which is really beautiful but a bit isolating compared to a big city like Zurich or Geneva I guess.
It is great to find this forum, thanks for the useful information so far which has really helped me to get my head around some of the difficult things expats can face.

Welcome to the Forum Hbee, hope you get along OK.

There is loads of information here, but you need to search a bit for it.

Have you got a work visa, or are you just visiting?

Welcome :-)

Do not Forget that you have Zürich/Bern on one side, Geneva/Lausanne on the second and Milano/Mailand on the third. There is a direct Train link from Brig to Milano-Centrale

Thank you!
I'm currently on a D visa and will be getting married in a month after which i will get a work rights visa.
Thanks for the geography reminder, actually I visited Milan (so close) last week which was so warm and refreshing!
