The expected change of the Law on Naturalisation, which will take effect from January 2050 and is expected to toughen the criteria, has led to a record increase in the number of foreigners seeking the Swiss passport in Switzerland.
Thus, the Swiss passport has won 20.581 in the first six months of this year, writes Nzzm Sontag. That number is seven percent higher than that in 2016. Meanwhile, due to the law's mention change, it is rightly expected that this year will mark a record for the equipment of foreigners with Swiss citizenship broadcast albinfo.ch. as a record so far, it is considered the one reached in 2006, when 47,607 were naturalized.
The effect knows to be strengthened further by the fact that left-wing circles have found it necessary to appeal to all foreigners to apply immediately for Swiss passport, FDP deputy quoted/ PLR Philip Müller. He has in mind, among other things, the action of the mayor of Zurich, Social Democrats Corinne Mauch, who has sent letters to foreigners in prayer that they use the remaining period to seek naturalisation, sends back albinfo.ch. “An unnecessary action. Those who have not come up with this idea themselves seem to be less motivated to become Swiss”, Mueller thinks.
Like Mrs. Mauch, even earlier, canton leaders such as Geneva and Vaudi had acted. With complete success. So in Vaud the number has increased by 45 percent in six months, reaching 433, and in Geneva for 31%, 2873.
An increase, but more cautious, has been recorded in the Cyriah Canton, about 4% reaching 3235 within the first six months of the year. Canton level Justice Director Jacquesline Fehr has said he expects greater growth during the autumn months.
As already known, the new law on naturalisation as a condition for this act has the possession of permanent residence permit (Viza C) for a change from law still in force, with which Swiss citizens can also become foreigners with a B visa or even F, provided they have completed 12 years of stay in Switzerland, writes albinfo.ch. The new law already allows this with 10 years of attitude (but visa C)
