Switzerland is known for one of the most complicated and lengthy procedures for obtaining citizenship. The main program requires permanent residence in the country for 10–12 years, passing a language exam, and a test on history and politics. In addition, a new citizen receives a stable legal framework, a high standard of living, and the ability to move freely across European countries.
The program will be especially attractive to experts and business professionals. Currently, Switzerland does not offer simplified procedures for obtaining citizenship. However, there are preferential conditions for spouses of Swiss citizens and children.
