To become a Swiss citizen, you generally need to have lived in Switzerland for ten years.
However, there are some exceptions to this rule:
- Five years: If you are married to a Swiss citizen, you can become a citizen after five years of living in Switzerland.
- Reduced time: The required residency time can be reduced if you have a recognized professional qualification, have made significant contributions to Swiss society, or have a special talent.
It's important to note that these are just general guidelines. The specific requirements for Swiss citizenship can vary depending on your individual circumstances. For the most accurate information, it's always best to consult with the Swiss authorities or a qualified immigration lawyer.
