Live in France, car registered in Switzerland – what's that all about?
I live in eastern France, close to the border with Switzerland, and I often see cars with Swiss licence plates driving around, including parked in people's driveways. I assume the owners have somehow registered the vehicle in Switzerland although they live in France. I have two questions:
How have they managed to do this? I understood that you need to be resident in Switzerland in order to register a vehicle there. Of course, some of them may have second homes in Switzerland, but I can't believe they all do.
Why would you want to do this anyway? Is it advantageous somehow?
