| | | Grüezi von America
Halo. I am an American of a Swiss-born mother. Growing up, we traveled to Switzerland every summer to visit my family, who all still reside there.
It's been a dream of mine to move home and be close to my family. Now, that I'm older, divorced and my children are grown I would like to make it happen.
As a daughter of a Swiss-born mother, would I have any luck getting permits to work and live in the country? Ultimately, I would love a Swiss citizenship but would be ecstatic to just have the permits needed to live and work. I just don't even know where to begin. Any suggestions/answers would be appreciated. Merci!
Tschüss,
Heidi

Have you checked with your nearest Swiss Consulate General about your eligibility for a red passport ? http://www.eda.admin.ch/la | Quote: |  | | | Competent for the States of

The site jrspet linked has loads of info for you. It looks like you can get a passport: | Quote: | | | | Child born before 1st July 1985 whose mother is Swiss (Article 58a)
Article 58a states:
"A child with foreign nationality who was born before 1st July 1985, and whose mother was a Swiss citizen before or at the time of the birth, can submit an application for simplified naturalisation if he/she has close connections with Switzerland". | | | | | from this page | | This user would like to thank Mud for this useful post: | |

in particular, this well written sticky: Anatomy of a post: all those buttons and links, explained | Quote: | | | | You can show your appreciation of a post by clicking , or your disapproval by clicking . You can groan at or thank a post only once, and can remove your Thanks or Groan if you change your mind by clicking the “Remove Your Thanks/Groan” link that appears when you give Thanks or a Groan. The Thanks and Groan buttons are disabled on your own posts (so you can’t thank yourself!) and in some of the Off-topic forums.

"It was a long time since I have posted in this forum. I have taken the advice of the members here and asked my Swiss citizenship! It is a very long process but still working. It may take another year, but I hope not. This December, I have my "personal interview" with the consulate and I am very happy. Thank you to all for your help. Regards, Heidi"
