Vergessen, neue Adresse bei Einwohnerdiensten anzumelden

Hi,

nach WGs und Zwischenmieten, wohne ich seit einigen Monaten in meiner ersten eigenen Wohnung in Bern. Leider habe ich vergessen, diesen Umzug bei den Einwohnerdiensten zu melden. Daher habe ich auch nie einen Brief der Seraf und Rechnungen bekommen. Hat jemand Erfahrungen, was für eine Strafe (neben der Seraf-Nachzahlung) droht, wenn ich mich verspätet nachgemeldet habe?

Danke und freundliche Grüsse

Looking for a cleaning lady or domestic help

Hi everyone, we are trying to find a person who could regularly clean our house. It's not so easy apparently. I would prefer to pay the person directly, including insurance, than through an intermediary company which tend to absorb a good chunk, like Batmaid and co.

We both work full time, live close to the center, have two small kids but are quite organized, nothing crazy, no pets. Ideally twice per week, 3+2 hours is a good start. No preference for language, age, gender, etc. Long time reliability, mutual respect and trust are key.

Let me know please if any ideas!

Was isch d Zukunft vo dr BLS (Bern Lötschberg Simplon)?

Vielech e chli e komischi Frag, aber I weiss nid wo angers frage

Es isch scho vor es Paar jahr gsi, aber I ha irgendwie i Erinnerig dass d BLS vo es Paar Jahre d Bahnstrecki uf La Chaux De Fond het übernoh oder irgendöppis e so, and d Direkter vo dr BLS isch denn ziemlich entüscht gsi, wil si anschinend ghofft hei, dass d BLS mehreri Bahnstreckine vo d SBB hätte chönne übernäh, oder irgend öppis e so, aber d Bund het ihne nume die uf La Chaux De Fond ghä. I weiss nüm genau, was, aber I ha das dennzumal i dr Zitig glese. Quasi d Bund het denn bestimmt, wer weli Bahnstreckine übernimmt oder bhaltet, und d BLS het dennzumal ghofft, dass si gwüssi Bahnstreckine vo d SBB hätte chönne übernäh

Und irgendwie denki jetzt dra zrück, und I chegg nid genau, wieso d BLS denn e so reagiert het. Wei di mit dr SBB Konkurenz mache? I ha denkt dass d BLS nume für d Kanton Bern zuständig isch. Hei die vor, schwiizwit aktiver z wärde ? Ha gmeint, dass es finanziell d meiste Bahnunternehme i d Schwiiz nid wirkli rentiert, und dass di meiste (inklusiv SBB und BLS) quasi nume überlebe wil si Subventione vo d Kantön und vom Bund überchöme. Drum chegg I nid, wieso d BLS wetti expandiere

Looking for a Reliable Used Car Dealership in Bern

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to Switzerland and need to buy a used car, preferably an estate, for regular Autobahn travel with my family. My budget is around 15-17k CHF.

I don’t have much experience with cars, so I’m looking for a dealership in Bern that is trustworthy and won’t sell me a wreck or something with hidden issues.

Does anyone have recommendations for honest dealerships or specific places to avoid?

Thanks in advance!

Iron infusion in Bern City?

Good morning!

I have anemia (low iron & red blood cells) and have been receiving iron infusion treatments at my GP in Basel or gynecologist in Zurich.

I’m tired (literally) of traveling and wanted to see if anyone could recommend a doctor here. My internet search has not been successful so far. I gave up trying to find a local GP a long time ago due to limited availability.

Many thanks!

Interest in learning, creating 3d animation in Maya, Unreal Engine or Blender in Bern?

Hey there, I'm a 3D artist who recently moved to Bern. I've worked on some big films and games, and I'm looking to create a space where I can offer classes, work on projects with the local artist and chat about animation. I've tried connecting with a few universities, but it seems like they're not too keen on teaching these kinds of softwares.

What do you think? Would you be interested in joining a community dedicated to animation?Let me know your thoughts!

Estimated RAV waiting days

I am thinking about quitting my current job in February. So far I have not found a new job, but I only made three applications. My reasons for quitting now are, that I became a dad in summer and thus need to adjust my work load, my company is in turmoil (hospital with money issues), and we are moving to a different canton in June. I have been in my current job for 7 years and was never unemployed before. I plan to apply for RAV immediately after handing in my notice. However, I cannot judge how many waiting days I will get. Can anyone tell me how many days I will likely get based on my situation? I know that it's between 31 and 60 days but which factors are relevant for it being 31 or 60 days?

What are some nice places to live around Bern?

I’ll be moving to Switzerland in the next few months and was wondering what towns you like and recommend to live in around Bern. Preferably less than 40mins train ride from Bern Station.

I have been doing some research and I really like the look of Thun and Spiez as they’re close to the mountains and lake and seem peaceful :)

Really appreciate your help!

Need something like a summer Job

Hey guys, so i'm a pastry chef working in Bern. The Place where i work rn is not really the best, so i decided to go end of june. (My contract ends then, i just didn't want to extend) End of December this year i'll go to New Zealand and in this year i want to go to London to do a Bartender Course. (Which is 4weeks) So now i'm searching for something either from July to October or August to November, so i either go before or after to London. I was thinking about working in a Pop up Bar during summer, but i don't know where to find them or kinda how to know where i can apply...? 🫠 Or i wouldn't mind to be in a Coffeeshop or something... just need money and wanna work lol. Also it would be nice when it would be in Bern, so i don't have to move for a couple of months. Does anybody know something or someone who searches for someone? Or do you have any tips where i can find something like this? :)

Where to pickup drivethru without city?

I'll travel from Valais to Basel, going through montreux and I need to pick someone up in Bern. Where would be the best place, where I could pick somenone up near Bern, without going into the city with my car? The person could take the tram. I'd like to just leave the Autobahn as little as possible, pick them up, and continue to Basel/Pratteln. I was thinking either Ostermundigen or Muri b.Bern, other tips? Thanks!

Where can I find a Stöckli?

Hey people, I (25 F) have been living alone in a lovely Farmhouse/Stöckli for 3 years now. I found the house by accident after being rejected from many apartments and the owners are my mom’s neighbors who saw me move in back with her and offered me their empty house which they didn’t want to bother with renting and doing landlord stuff. I moved in and done the renovation and maintenance work myself as that was their only condition to accept renting it to someone. Now the house will be demolished next year and I would really love to live in a similar house/stöckli or a flat in a small building in a green area. I am already on all Immobilien platforms but I am looking for a direct connection with the owners instead of an agency because I’ve always been rejected for being too young/single while applying for large flats/houses where they prefer families or couples. I have two cats who go out so I’d love it to be somewhere green with not much traffic. Does anyone know or maybe their family has an empty place like that and would be interested to rent it out to me? My current landlords offered to provide references if needed :)
