separately and on top of the €10,000 charged. And if you don’t have anyone to ID you after you are gone (as required by Swiss regulations) then that will add a further CHF900 to your bill.
Swiss Help for Exit Members
For anyone who has ever applied for a VAD at any of the clinics in Switzerland, you will know that there is a ton of bureaucracy that goes along with the ‘Swiss option’.
The Swiss authorities demand an inexhaustive list of personal and public documents (eg. birth, marriage, divorce, death certificates). Some documents need to be the originals, re-issued no more than 6 months ago.
Some documents need to be certified by a public notary. Medical records are also required. Psychiatric reports will be required if the person has a psychiatric or neurological condition. This includes diseases such as ALS/ MND, Parkinsons and MS, even though these conditions do not normally impact a person’s mental capacity.
Exit can help with all the above and even accompany the person to Switzerland from wherever their home may be if needs be. Please email Exit at contact@exitinternational.net to discuss this option further.
