Insurance in Switzerland — health, travel, and digital-nomad cover, what is mandatory, and how to choose a plan.

Switzerland's social-insurance system includes the old-age and survivors' insurance (AHV/AVS), disability insurance and occupational pensions, funded by contributions shared with the employer. Beyond compulsory health insurance, motor third-party liability insurance is mandatory for vehicles. Insurers and financial markets are supervised by FINMA.
