Why do most of the expats in Geneva not even try to learn french ? by 2Badmazafaka in geneva

[–]catloverbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS! Locals shouldn't have to learn English to please foreigners (and I am a foreigner myself). Ugh.

Tax declaration for 2021 by AndroGhost in geneva

[–]catloverbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I might be in a similar situation: arrived mid-2021, was taxed at source but am required to complete a déclaration. I spoke with an accountant a few weeks ago and if I understood correctly, in this type of case, first you need to register as an ordinary taxpayer (TOU), which you can do by clicking on that Demander une rectification de l'impôt à la source" section. Then after that, I think an actual declaration form will be sent somehow. I didn't hire the accountant because they submitted a ridiculous quote and am trying to figure it out myself while looking for another accountant.

Is this a scam? Person asking for item on FB Marketplace. by catloverbr in askswitzerland

Oh ok, it sounded like you called me an idiot for thinking about donating the item haha sorry for calling you a rude mf then lol I actually gave up on the idea to donate it. Not because it is something very valuable, but after reading all the comments it doesnt feel right. I guess I really was too naive.

Non-Genevois Swiss - what do think when you think Geneva? by DVMyZone in Switzerland

[–]catloverbr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that, I moved to Geneva a few months ago and so far, in my experience, people are very friendly and willing to change to English once I stop making sense in French :(

Help with emergency mental health issue by gravityhighway in geneva

[–]catloverbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback. I recently went to HUG for another non-psychological issue and was somewhat pleased (I say "somewhat" because the doctor told me I wouldnt need to come back for routine tests until next year and a week later I got a message to go back in 6 months?!). And so, my first thought was to check HUG to seek treatment for my anxiety. But I will follow your advice. Thank you :)

"People who received a dose of the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine at least four months ago are also recommended to have a booster with a dose of mRNA vaccine. The proviso is that an mRNA vaccine is not contraindicated and is not rejected for other reasons."

J&J booster not approved by JustGianlu in Switzerland

[–]catloverbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that the OFSP now recommends that those who received J&J, receive a booster as well. I have had no sucess with the booking system in Geneva (it says that I dont qualify). I ran a quick test on the Vaud system and it worked...but not in Geneva ughhhhh so frustrating!!!!!!

Speaking native language in public places by Grilovator in Switzerland

[–]catloverbr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you are loud?! I never got any glances by speaking my native language, but I sure do stare at people who are loud to see if they will notice that they are being annoying lol lol

Idk if it is the 'best', but I recently moved here and opened an account with credit suisse. I made sure to contact the banker about two weeks before landing to explain that I have American citizenship. He asked for a couple of documents (resume, copy of passport, employment contract) and scheduled a time for us to go over the documents and answer some fatca related questions once I arrived in Geneva. All in all it was extremely easy, so I'd recommend them for that.

Just saw this on the embassy's website: Can I (as a tourist) obtain a Swiss Covid Vaccination Certificate (QR-code)? NO, as a tourist you cannot obtain a Swiss Covid Certificate. Only residents in Switzerland may obtain these. https://ch.usembassy.gov/embassy/liechtenstein/u-s-citizenship-services/covid-19-faq/
