The entire selection of services offered can be found in the dropdown menu to the right. The contact details of the responsible Swiss representation are shown on the corresponding page.

Swiss citizens who get into difficulties abroad, also can ask for advice and help from the Swiss representative.

The magazine for the Swiss Abroad appears six times a year and provides information about what is happening at home and the activities of Swiss associations abroad. It also answers administrative questions.

Why do bin bags have a certain colour in Switzerland? How long is a "vignette" (motorway tax sticker) valid for? Which language is spoken at the southernmost tip of Switzerland? What does "simplified naturalisation" mean? The "together" app, developed by all of the SRG SSR’s business units (RSI, RTR, RTS, SRF and SWI), tackles questions from day-to-day life, provides answers and reveals other useful information. Its is based on the practical guide to Switzerland produced by SWI swissinfo.ch. The integration app currently comprises 10 topics with around 300 questions, background information and a news feed. The app is set to be expanded on an ongoing basis – and users can help one another with this by sending questions and images to the "together" team via an online form on the website www.together-in-switzerland.ch.
