A signed Swiss contract should open doors — yet agencies ask for three Swiss payslips and a debt-collection extract that a newcomer cannot have. Our assessment reads what you do have (contract, foreign income history, savings) and, upon approval, converts it into a guarantee agencies understand, in their language and format.
The market is workable but selective: decent listings still attract many files, and agencies favour applications with clear finances and no open questions.
What agencies ask for
A complete file: ID, permit or its proof of application, income evidence, often a debt-collection extract — and for profiles without Swiss history, a guarantor or additional security. Files answering everything up front get read first.
How SwissGuarantor helps
Free eligibility check, then a professional assessment of your real capacity (income, parental support, savings). Upon approval, our private guarantee joins your applications — issuance is never automatic, and we say so everywhere.
FAQ
Why do agencies refuse my parents abroad as guarantors?
Because enforcing a guarantee across borders is slow and uncertain for them. It is not about your family’s solvency — it is about enforceability. A Swiss-facing guarantee solves the agency’s problem, which is why it strengthens your file.
Is SwissGuarantor’s acceptance automatic if I study or work here?
No — never, for anyone. Every file is individually assessed and the decision rests with our team. The free eligibility check gives you an honest signal before you spend anything.
SwissGuarantor is an independent private service. The issuance of a guarantee is never automatic: every file is assessed individually and the final decision always rests with our team. SwissGuarantor is neither a bank nor an insurance company, and a guarantee does not entitle anyone to a lease — landlords decide freely.
