How would you react if someone told you that you could move to a beautiful village and also get paid??No, we are not kidding; a village in Switzerland is doing the same, and it is as enticing as it gets.? ?
Families have a rare opportunity to relocate to the charming mountain valley village of Albinen, which is situated in the Swiss canton of Valais. The village, which is 4,265 feet above sea level, offers breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains.
However, as more people move away from the rural area in favour of the neighbouring cities, the small village is in danger of becoming depopulated.
The village started a programme in 2018 to pay families over ?50,000 (50 lakh) to relocate to Albinen in order to buck this trend.?
Families of four will receive an additional 10,000 Swiss francs (or 9 lakh) for each child, in addition to 25,000 Swiss francs (or 22.5 lakh) per adult.
The programme is open to Swiss nationals with a permit C residence as well as nationals of the European Union or the European Free Trade Association as well as the United States and Canada, who can apply for a permit after five years of residence in Switzerland.
As for the eligibility requirements, applicants must be under 45 and agree to reside in an Albinen home for at least ten years that is worth at least 200,000 Swiss Francs (1.8 crore) to be eligible for the programme.?The ?50,000 payout must be repaid if someone leaves before the ten-year period has passed. The advantages of living in Switzerland outweigh any perceived restrictions.
The country of Switzerland has one of the best educational systems in the world and a relatively low rate of violent crime. The village of Albinen also provides excellent air quality, a lot of sunshine throughout the year, and a tranquil setting that is difficult to find in busy cities. Despite the allure, the village prohibits the construction of large residential complexes and second homes for investor groups.?
Families have an alluring chance to move to one of the most breathtaking locations in the world thanks to the village of Albinen. The opportunity to live in a serene and beautiful setting with a strong education system and low crime rates makes it an alluring prospect for those looking for a quieter lifestyle, despite the strict requirements.
