| Hello,
I need some help with some legal matters, regarding families and the citizenships of their members.
What happens if a female German citizen with a C permit and and a male Italian citizen with no permit have a child who is born in Switzerland?
1) What is the nationality of the new-born baby, if he/she is born in Switzerland (considering that Germany doesn't allow double citizenship)? Are there different options or just one?
2) Is there a chance for his/her father to have a residence permit in Switzerland? With or without getting married? | |

well the child is definitely not Swiss. Naturalisation can be applied for after 12 years of residence. Children who visit school here can be naturalised quicker as schoolyears count double.
I don't think having a child will alllow the parent to received a permit without marriage.
The best place to answer all your questions is the 'Einwohnerkontrolle, Zivilstandsamt, or the Gemeinde.
