Insurance & Compliance for Geneva's Diplomatic Corps
Specialized advisory for Legitimation Card holders and International Organizations. We manage your Swiss health insurance exemptions (LAMal), secure worldwide private coverage, and handle administrative compliance for you and your family.
Tailored Solutions Based on Your Status
- For Diplomats & Mission Staff (Legitimation Cards D, E, F, Ci): You are likely eligible for exemption from the mandatory Swiss system (LAMal). We navigate the legal Article 6 OAMal procedures for you and your family, securing superior international coverage at a lower cost than local insurance.
-For New Residents & Expats (Permits B, C, L): Navigating the Swiss insurance market can be overwhelming. We compare the top providers to find the perfect balance of price and coverage, ensuring you are fully compliant within 3 months of arrival.
Why Missions Trust Nouveau en Suisse ?
-Bureaucracy Free
We act as your authorized representative with the Cantonal Authority (SAM). From filing the initial exemption requests (under Art. 6 OAMal) to managing annual renewals, we ensure your file is flawless. We prevent administrative delays, avoid retroactive Swiss penalties, and handle all French-language correspondence on your behalf.
-True Global Mobility
Diplomacy requires movement, and your coverage must travel with you. Unlike standard Swiss plans, our solutions provide Tier-1 medical access worldwide—including your home country and the USA. This includes VIP access to Swiss private clinics (Genolier, Hirslanden), direct billing for hospitalization, and full medical repatriation services.
-The "Diplomatic Clause" Standard
Standard Swiss contracts are rigid and often trap you for 12 months. We negotiate specific "Diplomatic Clauses" for your housing, vehicle, and civil liability insurance. This guarantees you the right to terminate contracts immediately—without financial penalty—the moment you are transferred or your mission ends.

FAQ
Does my spouse (Permit Ci) need Swiss insurance?
Holders of a Permit Ci (spouses/children working in Switzerland) are generally subject to the Swiss system (LAMal) because they are gainfully employed. However, exceptions exist if their employer offers equivalent coverage or if they are covered by your main diplomatic policy.
Expert Insight: We can often bundle your spouse onto your international plan to save ~40% compared to a standard Swiss policy.
Is NouveauenSuisse affiliated with an insurance company?
No, we work with an independent broker (not affiliated with any institution or insurance company), which guarantees impartial advice with no obligations.
What types of insurance do you offer?
Our expertise covers the full spectrum of your residency requirements, seamlessly integrating essential health and liability coverage with high-value asset protection for your property, fine art, and global mobility. Beyond immediate risk management, we also serve as your partners in long-term wealth preservation, structuring tax-efficient Third Pillar and retirement strategies.
How long does an audit usually take?
A preliminary 20-minute strategic assessment allows us to align our solutions with your specific treaty obligations and personal objectives. While this concise audit is often enough to secure essential coverages, we remain at your disposal for extended consultations regarding intricate asset protection.
Can I sell my tax-free car to anyone when I leave Geneva?
Not immediately. If you imported a car tax-free (using your diplomatic franchise), you are generally forbidden from selling it to a non-privileged person (e.g., a Swiss neighbor) for 3 years without paying the original VAT and customs duties.
Expert Insight: If you sell it to another diplomat, the tax-free status transfers. We can help you navigate the "Customs Release" paperwork for resale.
