I know a japanese person who would be able to get swiss citizenship. However, Japan does not allow dual citizenship. If this person would get Swiss citizenship, would the Japanese government know? Meaning, will Switzerland inform Japan?
@AAA_AskAnAttorney
4 ай бұрын
To be honest I'm not sure. I don't see why Switzerland would inform Japan. If your friend lives in Switzerland, the Japanese government would probably not know about the naturalization process. If she needs to go to a Swiss embassy/consulate in Japan several times, the situation would probably be different. I think the important question is more whether her Japanese citizenship would be revoked after she becomes Swiss. Based on information on the internet that has never happened before apparently.

Hi, for the Reintegration of the Swiss nationality or also in the Easy naturalisation process, you have to know at least one of the 3/4 national languages. For the inetrview, it doesn't matter in witch Kanton you live in, you can can do it in German, French or Italian?

Thank you! I wonder if the integration requirements are the same for the simplified naturalization. The language requirements are, in my opinion, lower (B1 in Speaking, A2 in Writing). Do you have to prove that you are a member in a club (Dorfverein for example) or such things?

The requirements are essentially the same, including the language requirement (A2 in writing, B1 in speaking for both). You don't have to be in a club or association ('Verein'). Your integration is looked at in general, including if you have Swiss friends, know the culture etc. You being a member of a 'Verein' can be an indication for a good integration but it's not required.

Thank you so much too! You'll have to hand in some 'references' from Swiss friends (stating how you know each other, describing your friendship etc.).

Hello Lara! Thank u for this amazing Video! I have 3 simple questions please. 1- I'm a German citizen, does that make it easier for me to get C residency and the citizenship? 2- If I get the C residency can I live in Germany or another country and Swizerland at the same time and still become a Swiss citizen? 3- Do u think the Swiss government intends to reform the citizenship law? Instead of 10 years to shorter Time? Thank u very much in advance! :))
@AAA_AskAnAttorney
3 ай бұрын
Hi, thank you so much! (1) It will be 'easier' for you because you speak the langage perfectly and know the culture etc., so obtaining a C permit should not be a problem for you. (2) While having a C, you cannot live abroad for more than 6 months per year, otherwise it expires (therefore: you have to have your primary residence in Switzland). But exceptions can be granted if requested for a good reason, f.e. if you have to live abroad for a 1-2 years because of your job. (3) I don't think so currently. The tendency seems to be to set the bar for citizenship higher.

Also, both parents (EU citizens on a C permit) consent to this. Thank you for being so helpful!

Exactly yes! Not only can they apply by themselves at the age of 16, they also have to agree to the process at that age. Children, who are younger than 16 can apply for Swiss citizenship themselves, but they need their parents approval for the application and they need to fullfill all the requirements.

Thank you - also for your question! It depends on a childs age: In general, children are included in their parents naturalization process, especially at a very young age. However if they are older and/or if they have not been living in Switzerland for at least a couple years, exceptions can be made. Over the age of 16, they normally have to agree on the naturalization.

Hi, I agree with you 100 %! It's really strange. They originally planned to require 12 years for citizenship and 10 years for the C permit, but never changed it, so it's the same now. But the procedure for the C permit is faster at least ;).

@AAA_AskAnAttorney

Hi! To obtain a Swiss C permit you must have stayed in Switzerland for 5 years straight without a break (as a spouse of a Swiss citizen) before you apply. For the Swiss citizenship it's either 5 years of residence in Switzerland while having been married for 3 or 6 years of marriage if you live abroad. In the later case you need to prove that you have 'close ties' to Switzerland (friends, family, previous visits, engaging in local communities etc.).
