Full-service relocation in Basel

The chain an agency handles in Basel runs through several cantonal counters. The permit comes from the Migrationsamt Basel-Stadt at Spiegelgasse 12; under the federal fee ordinance, as listed on the canton's page, a first permit costs CHF 95 for third-country nationals and CHF 65 for adult EU/EFTA nationals (CHF 30 for minors). Third-country work permits are first applied for online by the employer at the Amt für Wirtschaft und Arbeit (Kanton Basel-Stadt, checked 21 Oct 2026) (Kanton Basel-Stadt, checked 21 Oct 2026).

A foreign-registered car has to be registered in Switzerland within one year of the move. It is declared to customs, inspected at the Motorfahrzeug-Prüfstation beider Basel in Münchenstein (Reinacherstrasse 40) and then registered at the Motorfahrzeugkontrolle, Clarastrasse 38, where the plates and registration document are issued against customs form 13.20 A (Kanton Basel-Stadt, checked 21 Oct 2026) (Kanton Basel-Stadt, checked 21 Oct 2026) (Kanton Basel-Stadt, checked 21 Oct 2026).

Children aged six to twelve are enrolled with the Volksschulen at Kohlenberg 27, through primarschulen@bs.ch, with identity copies and the last two school reports; the school location is notified about a week before the start (Kanton Basel-Stadt, checked 21 Oct 2026).

Newcomers register with the Einwohneramt of Bevölkerungsdienste und Migration at Spiegelgasse 6; from 2 November 2026 its counters work from a temporary building on Schwarzwaldallee, opposite Badischer Bahnhof. The deadline is 14 days (2026) (Einwohneramt BS, checked 21 Oct 2026): the date of the online booking counts, not the date of the appointment. Registration costs CHF 25 per person (Einwohneramt BS, checked 21 Oct 2026). The general steps are in registering at your commune.
