How to get the swiss passport - requirements, rules and costs 2023 

This is one of the most relevant, clean, and simplified video on Swiss citizenship i have seen so far. thank you so much for uploading.

Thankyou so much for giving your precious time. This information really helps me alot. 😊

Very nice video thank you so much for your time you gave us so much value in such short time. Appreciate it alot !

Very insightful! Thanks

Good Stuff ! DANKE !

Last one was Brilliant !

Your video are very nice and informative

Thanks 👍

It was brilliant presentation

This is a perfect presentation for all "treaty shoppers". Those people to whom "Passports" mean "economic benefits" and every other financial benefit that comes with it. Have you heard one word or even one shred of feelings for what is called "the Vaterland" - the pride and the gratitude to the ancestors of Switzerland who built up the country?

And one thing to consider: As far as of my knowledge, if you want to get the passport, you need to have been living in one municipal in switzerland for straight 5 years. That can be supper annoing if you are here for work. Because you will most likeliy change the place where you live (depending on your employer).

Thanks for explaining everything i hope my wife is from Switzerland cause Switzerland is my dream country always wanted to be a swiss 🇨🇭😢

I just got back from my very first trip from CH and I'm already Googling and Youtubing how to become a Swiss citizen haha . Thank you for making this video.

In my village we the citizens of the village have to vote new ( want to be Swiss ) in, in first case they are citizens of our village, this is your "home village" and it is on your ID and passport, we vote people in at our meeting twice a year

Great information! Is there a study guide? I’m in the same situation: I’m American married to a Swiss living in the US. Here we have a study guide/workbook to study for American citizenship.

Thanks for the raw info!!🏂

Hi, nice to see you again. Thank you Very Much for this video and all the information, it is really So Helpful. Do you have an email to ask you some questions? I have some questions that are personal so I don't want to ask you in the comment section.) I Wish you the Best and have a wonderful time. Maggie from California

Thanks for the video. Really very useful information. I still have few questions: Is there some requirements to be living in the same Canton and „Geminde“ for a certain period of time to be able to ably? Do you need an evidence from your neighbors or friends to acknowledge your integration? What about kids staying more than 5 years and getting their full education in Switzerland? are they eligible to apply for the citizenship and do they need to be living in the same Geminde or Canton for a certain time? Thanks once more 🙂

Great effort ❤

Thanks for sharing those experiences!

Thank you lady!! I have a question When i live in Switzerland to fulfill the conditions for the citizenship I can’t leave the country like at all? Like going to see someone i know in a another country for couple of weeks and going back to Switzerland or does this disqualify me from getting the permanent residency and thank you again ^_^

Hello, first thank you very much for your video ! And I wanted to ask if the same rules apply to a foreign student. As a foreign student, if I study in Switzerland for 5 years with a B permit to study, will these 5 years be considered in the total 10 years I should spend in the country ?

You said "If you are famous, if you have loads of maney this works to get passport" so, does that if I have millions of dollars, I have to pay thousands to get Swiss passport quickly or not. Please reply to me, I very very need this.

Hey there thank you for the detailed video. Is there a way to citizenship by investment? I plan to shut down my US business in the long term and use all the profits after tax to buy myself a swiss citizenship, a property, car, another business etc.

Thank u ! for the case of a student in a swiss university , does his years as a student there count as residency in switzerland so we can say that after 5 years of university and 5 years of work there is it possible to obtain the swiss citizenship. Thanks in advance

Hare Krsna we are in Bern now ...

I had the opportunity to become Swiss last year. This is probably the best video in English to describe the process that I have seen.

I think the passport process is very fair , it should not be easy to get the a Swiss passport . I personally think that prior to 2018 the facilitated naturalization process was too easy and now it is essential to show and prove integration and for non mother tongue speakers have a language certificate such as Fide or Goethe the language level is slightly lower for those married to a swiss I personally find that illogical it should be tha same . Switzerland is really a jewel 💎 and needs to be careful who it gives voting rights for me the key question is why do you want to be swiss it should not be just about advantage it should be about also Verpflichtungen

Thank you for very helpful video! I am married to Swiss but live in Middle East. I will most likely apply for getting the passport- Is there a website or source where we could find information to study? Is there any booklet with questions and answers? Thank you

I am 34 years just a week I reunited with my God mother. It had been 30+ years since she visited Ghana. We reunited in UK since I moved there with my wife but now we are finally relocating to the USA. Last time she visited Ghana was during my mother’s funeral. All through childhood I was told she was like a sister and I could attest to that. I feel attached to her and see my mum in her. Is there a way I can be adopted by her so I could visit Switzerland any time I want. Please tell me my options .

Thank you for the video Holamundo! I have a question, I lived in Switzerland 10+ years I studied all my life there. However I was too young to think about getting a passport, moved away. I'm thinking of doing a PhD in Switzerland, as it would take more than 3 years+ living there. Would it be possible to get the citezenship this way?

considering Switzerland has treaties with the EU that allow euro citizens to live and work in Switzerland, what was the specific advantage to you, as a german citizen, to acquire the swiss citizenship?

Nice info find swiss woman

Thank you for the insight I have 3 nationalities

You forgot about the Golden Visa, which is the one they give you when you invest a certain amount of money in Switzertland :)

Hello, dear Nina❤, could you please tell me what are the 5 or 10 characteristics that one should consider when choosing a canton? Aiming to get residency and in the future a Swiss passport for a doctor And among these German-speaking cantons, which one is suitable for an Iranian to at least enter there? For example, the components that I know myself; Lower taxes, easier to give B residence, and easier to convert to C residence and cheaper food and health care available... Consider that I have a Blue Card and permanent residence in Germany and registered as a MD., my first goal is to get C residence in Switzerland. And my final goal is, the Swiss red passport, and living in Swiss. Thanks Here's a subjective ranking from perceived easy to hard about cantons, which l knew them: Appenzell Innerrhoden: This canton is often considered to have a straightforward naturalization process, especially if you have lived there for a long time and integrated into the local community. Appenzell Ausserrhoden: Similar to its sister canton, Appenzell Ausserrhoden is also known for having a relatively straightforward naturalization process compared to larger cantons. Schwyz: Schwyz is known to have a relatively straightforward naturalization process for those who have been living there for a substantial period and meet the integration requirements. Glarus: Glarus is another canton with a naturalization process that is perceived to be less complex than some larger cantons. Uri: Uri is a smaller canton, and naturalization procedures may be more straightforward compared to larger urban cantons. Obwalden: Obwalden, being a smaller canton, may have a simpler naturalization process compared to larger ones. Nidwalden: Nidwalden is also known for having a relatively straightforward naturalization process for eligible applicants. Appenzell: Both Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden are considered to have simple processes, but some sources suggest Innerrhoden might be slightly easier. Basel-Stadt: Basel-Stadt may have a straightforward process, especially for long-term residents who have integrated well. Schaffhausen: Schaffhausen is known to have reasonable naturalization procedures compared to some larger cantons. Thurgau: Thurgau's naturalization process is generally considered manageable. Fribourg (Freiburg): Fribourg's naturalization process might have some specific requirements, but it's generally regarded as reasonable. Solothurn: Solothurn's naturalization process is perceived to be somewhat more involved compared to some smaller cantons. Basel-Landschaft: Basel-Landschaft may have a slightly more complex process compared to Basel-Stadt. Aargau: Aargau's naturalization process might involve more requirements compared to some smaller cantons. Zug: Zug's naturalization process may have more requirements compared to some smaller cantons. St. Gallen: St. Gallen may have a somewhat more involved naturalization process compared to smaller cantons. Bern (Berne): As one of the larger cantons, Bern's naturalization process might involve more documentation and requirements. Zürich (Zurich): As one of the largest and most populous cantons, Zurich's naturalization process may have more requirements and take longer to complete compared to smaller cantons. Graubünden (Grisons): Graubünden's naturalization process can be more complex due to its unique multilingual character and additional requirements for language proficiency.

I have only one problem B1 sprechen because now i moved in my country and here german language acadmy is not good ,can you suggest me something?

So my question is do you have to speak one of three languages, German French or Italian & read , write too?

Im in CH for 10 years but don’t want to even bother with the passport

Jai Gurudev ❤️

Frau, please make a video if one can get a citizenship by buying a property(real estate), how much minimum investment is required and if 1 month/per year staying will make me eligible in the future?

Hello Nina! Thank you for your video. I have been married 7 years to a Swiss citizen, living abroad. My wife lived a year in St. Gallen. For the rest of her life, she has lived abroad. She was born abroad as well. Her passport and ID card say that her "Place of origin" is Jonen, in Aargau. I'm planning on applying for Swiss citizenship, but the thing about the canton is a little confusing for me. I speak French at a B1 level, Italian at a B1 level, and German at an A2 level (and in Romansh, I only know a few words, "Allegra", "eviva" and that's it). Obviously, I need to improve my knowledge of one of these languages. This is my question: we are living abroad, so, will an interview with the authorities of a canton happen?. And if that's the case, is it supposed to be Aargau? That would mean that I need to study German. If that's not the case, I would incline myself for French given the fact that I speak French way better than German. Thank you for your time. I just discovered your channel and it is marvelous. You have a new subscriber!

What about joining the military? I hope you see this

but how can i buy the passport in cash on cantons ?

Its like the Canadian passport. It has a good reputation around the world

Is it possible to have Swiss and Romania passport I know swiss gives dual citizenship what about Romania?

This crazy 1000€ for a passport… I paid only 80€ for mine (European)it took only one week to get. Your German passport is #1 in the world, Swiss I think it is # 8 or 9, I do see a reason to even get it, you have your Swiss nationality is enough.

Madam i have a question Germany passport is very POWERful. Germany does not require dual citizenship. Are you still a german ctizen?

It’s true if you have enough money in bank can get Swiss passport without national language I believe they only give you permanent residency card for 10 years not Swiss passport ?

Clear and concise information - thank you!

Very independent review . Love it. I wish American citizenship was the same.

Hello am from Kenya and my husband is a swiss we had a baby who's akenyan my question is how can I and my baby go to swis and I there passport for babys

How did you meet your husband? And do you know any quality and free online dating site for Europe where we can meet swiss men? Its not about the passport cause where i live its good but i'm fascinated with Switzerland. Its a dream country.

British passport naturalisation, have similar procedure, and passport (applications) cost £1.200, plus application, test etc. Also basic knowledge about the UK (just British mess).

What about studying ?

Können Sie bitte sagen, wo man sich adoptieren kann oder wo man Eltern haben kann, um uns zu unterstützen😢?

Are there any naturalization programs for high net worth retirees? ie not requiring proof of work/job.

funny, from a travel perspective, the german passport is even better than a swiss one

Does your husband have a German passport?

Can a third world country get the passport. Like Nigeria

And what if you don’t speak any of languages you said 😢

"You can easily get a job in Switzerland." That is neither my experience nor impression, especially for Third Country Nationals. Expensive? Well, as an American I have to pay much more to give up my US citizenship. Leider bin ich weder berühmt noch überreich. Schade.

What happened to you, first you buy a house in Switzerland then you travel away then you go back again

dang I need a swiss wife

Indians do like 👍 जय हिन्द 🇮🇳

Do you have a second or third passport? From which country? Was it easy to get? Share her ein the comments your experience with us all

I’m Swiss and I have a Swiss passport ❤❤

I know grate country Switzerland 🇨🇭 and Beautiful. But citizenship swiss Passport law very Dificulat same to Italy 🇮🇹. This is not good Need. Making a law on Italian Switzerland nationality like the German one is therefore very good for human beings. Thanks 💚💙🧡❤💜💛🇮🇹🇨🇭🇨🇵🇩🇪🇪🇺🧡❤💜💛❤

I live in Berlin now,I would like to marry with German girl😅

Basically,if you are not a very rich person who wants to live and invest in sw there is no point to get a sw passport, any eu passport is OK. And Switzerland is not for poor foreigners-)), it's their right to set th e rules

You sounds like imigration lawyers from Queens New York, reapinting what is evident...

No need i need job and money nothing else

Hey, a quick question please. What are the possibilities for non-European to retire in Switzerland if their child is a Swiss citizen? Is it possible or not? Have a good day.
