Glocals Switzerland

Glocals is one of the older English-language networking platforms specific to Switzerland, predating the major global expat networks and retaining a Swiss-specific feel. City groups organise their own events and the platform’s classifieds section handles housing, flatmate searches and goods for sale in a way that is practical for someone mid-move.

The forums are active enough to get answers to Switzerland-specific questions that don’t appear in official documentation, including the kind of cantonal variations in permit processing or landlord practices that only emerge from people who have just been through the process.
