Have you experienced problems with your Swiss driving licence while living abroad?

Hosted by: Emilie Ridard

Emigration, returning to Switzerland, family, education, pensions, banking, insurance... I care about Swiss people living abroad and inform them about the issues that concern them. Passionate about languages and cultures, my career path took a short turn through marketing and assistant work before crossing the road into journalism, in a job that allows me to converse with people from all over the world.

Moving abroad from Switzerland involves a lot of paperwork. But there’s one thing that can easily be overlooked: your driving licence.

Have you encountered any difficulties with your Swiss driving licence since moving abroad? Perhaps it wasn’t recognised in your new country, you were fined for failing to hand it in to the Swiss authorities, or you had to retake your driving test. Or have you faced problems with a vehicle you brought with you from Switzerland?
