moving to France (Gaillard) from Geneva as independent-cheaper?
Feb 8, 2017 @ 15:06

Hi,


Questions specifically (but not only) to independents, who work in Geneva, but live in France.


Is it really cheaper to live in France considering that:


1. there are no medical insurance costs in Switzerland


2. apartments are cheaper?


On the other hand I heard, that a medical insurance(Sécurité sociale) in France is higher, 15-25% annual income - is that true?


Have not found any info about that via search on gl.

Hi Kris,


What i know is that the security sociale in France is around 8%, not covering 100% and adding little more to private insurances to cover 100%. i heard also if you have a LAMAL (swiss system) you can keep it when you move to France and not to pay the Security social, however i am not sure about it


apartments cheaper for sure, however you have also to think about permit change if you are not swiss, if you have B for example it will change to G i think. also unemployment benefits in swiss can cover 75%-80% i think, while in France its around 50%...


All what i listed above are not related to independents ...


Good luck,


Cheers,


Abdul

Thanks Abdul, that's a good start with info:)


Unemployment pension is not important for me since anyway I do not get any as an independent in Geneva.
