Practical information

The Practical Information section of our website aims to facilitate your integration and guide you through most of the necessary steps. Il also aims to inform you more about daily life in Geneva and direct you towards the relevant offices.

  • In order to help you settle down and get to know the Canton and the City better, we would like to inform you that the Bureau for the integration of migrants (Bureau d'intégration des étrangers - BIE) is organising in collaboration with the Université Ouvrière de Genève (UOG), a welcome and information evening in English. This is an opportunity for you to learn more about Geneva and seek answers to questions you may have on subjects like transport, health, social care, sports and culture.
