For me, the harshness of those Swiss folks will always make their country unattractive to integrate.
This frenchman lived in Switzerland for almost 40 years and they still denied his application for speeding that happened 5 years ago. Crazy

I know that acquiring Swiss citizenship is one of the best and safest citizenship you can have but c'mon... They are clearly acting like assholes here. And that's one big reason why I will never live in CH. Go to Zug for the lowest taxes then GTFO lol
 
Acquiring 2nd citizenship Globally, along the likes of(swiss,andorra,monaco, Luxembourg,san marino et al) requires, a reclusive‌ mode, akin to monk mode,hibernation for the intended application duration up on till citizenship has‍ been successfully acquired..

authorities engage on an indepth scrutiny and hawkeye approach towards applicants,past history,lifestyle,business,employment,⁠ employers etc....every nook and cranny would be zoomed into...

the tiniest of nicks and dents⁤ could disqualify the citizenship application,based on unsatisfactory grounds and lifestyle..etc rea#44!
 
Keep in mind, they don't owe you citizenship just because you're a︀ french guy living there for 40 years, it's always at the discretion of the authorities︁ in the end. The smaller the country the stricter citizenship will get. Even places like︂ Monaco i've seen billionaires who lived there for decades get told to f**k off while︃ some newer foreigner who has a more interesting past than just making money got it︄ quite easily. But as a general rule the people i see getting the citizenship are︅ 1) Famous people with great achievements 2) People related to Prince albert's family and 3)︆ People with a bloodline heritage to Monaco who wish to move there.

Switzerland is less︇ strict than Monaco but again, citizenship can be denied for any reason, and i've seen︈ people get denied simply because they couldn't remember a few villages food specialties when asked︉ about it in the live interview. If they judge your interest is purely economic then︊ they don't see you as a good fit for citizenship regardless of how many years︋ you've been living there. They most likely saw that he was french, had a lot︌ of ties to France still (Probably even a business there) and judged that he was︍ trying to dodge taxes or achieve some kind of economic gain by getting the swiss︎ citizenship. The speeding ticket is just the official excuse, they don't have to give you️ the real reason.
 
The language and knowledge test for German citizenship is so complicated that most natives would‌ not pass it. Is it similar in Switzerland?
 
Maybe he can get his lawyers to fix the issue. I don't believe that a‌ millionaire can't get Swiss citizenship.
 
@ImRobot exactly...probably a few underlining factor exists..

as citizenship basics, literally goes down to High‌ individual networth, as well as evidently what he brings to the economy, jobs for local‍ workforce via an investment/outright UBO ownership ,a bouyant tax bracket etc..

from the scenario his⁠ team of lawyers can come up with a decent proposal towards neutralizing past actions and⁤ dents, going forward... rea#44!
 
At least‍ French, Italian and German Citizens are not required to rund the language Test as German,⁠ French and Italian Language are all official recognized Languages in Switzerland.

Switzerland runs pretty much⁤ decentralized with all the cantons doing there own thing so a lot comes down to⁣ which canton you are looking at to get naturalized.
 
Exactly. Simply put, What Saudi Arabia is to Alcohol, Switzerland is to Cars and Driving.⁤ Near 0 Tolerance culture and I believe doing double the speed limit is a criminal⁣ offense there, not a civil one. So seems Switzerland just applied their law and nothing⁢ else.
 
The knowledge‍ test is known to be very difficult as the questions are random and can be⁠ extremely localized down to a specific village (Food, flag, etc). They don't mind a few⁤ mistakes but what they want to see mainly is your interest in swiss culture and⁣ your general knowledge of the country's heritage. A lot of people fail it because they⁢ think it's just a general knowledge test where they have to know city names and︀ dates but it goes way deeper in terms of knowledge. That makes the swiss citizenship︁ one of the hardest citizenships to get and people who do get it usually lived︂ there way longer than 10 years.
 
And apparently︁ you need to stay in the same canton for 10 years straight. If you move︂ to another canton, especially from a german canton to a french one, very high chance︃ you will need to do the 10 year minimum stay all over again.

In Zug:︄ In the Canton of Zug, of the 12 years spent in Switzerland, 5 have to︅ have been spent in the canton and 3 in the same municipality, with no︆ periods of interruption.
 
Welcome to pedantic‍ Swiss mentality. If you didn't mention the country and asked me to guess where this⁠ happened I would have guessed Switzerland...lol.
 
A couple of years ago there was the cowbell lady. She got denied as well‌ but got it in the end. Even Switzerland cannot deny you even if they want‍ to. This guy needs to go to court and will then get it. The question⁠ is more one of how far he wants to go. There is also an immigrant⁤ example from Basel. They got denied because they were jogging pants in their free time.⁣ Via court they appealed and did get everything sorted.

There's really little reason for driving fast in Switzerland. You have trains that work well and not many places you actually need to go to by car.
