Switzerland has low taxes and world-class infrastructure, but it's also very expensive.
Let's look at some pros and cons 👇
Pros:
✅ Tax benefits: if your income is in the $100–150k range, taxes can be low
✅ Quality of life: great public services, low pollution, safe, central location and easy travel
Cons:
❌ Rent & everyday expenses: among the highest in the world
❌ Limited social scene: If you enjoy bigger, vibrant cities, Zurich may feel small
Possibility of a “hybrid” approach.
Where you:
1️⃣ Base yourself in Switzerland and spend there the majority of the year
2️⃣ Leverage your remote income to be abroad - in complementary locations - for some weeks/months each year
Do you think it’s worth it?
What would be another base you'd consider as a remote worker?

As a portuguese citizen living in Portugal and looking forward to relocate, let me warn you. Don't come to Portugal. Even if you are working remotely and you make a lot compared to the expenses you have, Portugal is becoming a shit show. From politics, to public services. Even the crime rate is going up like crazy.
