What are your experiences/opinion with the naturalisation process? And did you become Swiss before the 2018 overhaul or after?

The difficult path to Swiss citizenship is getting more selective: well-educated and well-off immigrants are pulling ahead when it comes to getting a passport, a study shows.

And after a 2018 overhaul of the rules it’s not getting easier – or at least not for everyone, according to a study by the Federal Commission on Migration (FCM), a government advisory body.

Between 2018 and 2020, the study says, the proportion of university graduates among “ordinary naturalisations” climbed to 57%, compared to 33.5% under the old law. On the other hand, newly minted citizens with only a basic education fell from 23.9% to 8.5%. This came as the overall number of naturalisations during the period also dropped, though it has risen again since.
