TELL US: Are you eligible to become Swiss but choose not to?
Whether by descent or any other reason, we want to hear from those who are eligible for naturalisation in Switzerland but who haven’t decided to do so.
According to a recent study, a large number of young people living in Switzerland are eligible to become Swiss but have decided not to do so.
Experts believe this is due to a variety of factors, including the difficulty associated with becoming Swiss and the fact that many people can live and work in Switzerland relatively easily without citizenship - even though they are unable to vote.
