Polina Kravtsova
Relocation Consultant · Zürich
My name is Polina Kravtsova. I support international clients with relocation, permits, and administrative processes in Switzerland. My goal is simple — make complex procedures clear, structured, and manageable. I am studying for a Master's degree at the University of Zurich, with a focus on migration and administrative law.
I know how hard it can be to move to a new country — I started from zero myself. Now I want to help others save time and avoid confusion when dealing with the Swiss system. My experience as a legal assistant at a law firm in Zürich helps me find practical, realistic paths for each client. Instead of uncertainty, you get clear steps and personal support.

Non-EU citizens with a confirmed job offer can also navigate the process with structured guidance and the right documents. A lawyer becomes necessary only in complex appeal situations or cases involving prior refusals.
You must register at your local Einwohnerkontrolle within 14 days of moving into your address. This is a legal obligation, not a suggestion. Missing the deadline can result in a fine and delays to your permit, health insurance and bank account setup.
Yes. While we are based in Zürich, we work with clients across Switzerland remotely. All consultations can be conducted online via video call. We support clients in Basel, Bern, Geneva, Zug, Lucerne and other cantons with the same process.
For EU/EFTA citizens, a B permit is typically issued within 2–6 weeks after registration, depending on the canton. For non-EU citizens, the process involves additional steps and can take 2–4 months or longer depending on whether the employer quota approval is already in place.
We provide practical relocation consulting — help with documents, registration steps, authority communication, and guidance on the process. We do not provide legal advice or represent clients in legal proceedings. If your situation involves a court appeal or a complex legal dispute, we will tell you clearly and refer you to the right specialist.
