Frequently asked questions
Who can apply for Swiss citizenship?
For ordinary naturalisation, you need a C permit and 10 years of residence in Switzerland (years between the ages of 8 and 18 count double, with at least 6 years of actual residence), plus 2 to 5 years in the canton, depending on the canton. The spouse of a Swiss citizen can apply for facilitated naturalisation after 5 years of residence and 3 years of marriage.
How much does Swiss naturalisation cost?
Official fees depend on the canton and the municipality. For an adult in Lausanne, they come to about CHF 875. Our fees are on top: CHF 290 for the Essential package. The pre-check gives you the exact amount for your situation.
