After going through this thread I'm realizing there are quite a few differences between Facilitated Naturalization for a current Swiss resident vs the same process for someone who resides in another country. The OP seems to be a non-resident, and most of the info in this thread comes from that perspective. Perhaps since this is a sticky the thread title should be changed to make that clear?

Or maybe since it's a mix of info, it should be left as is. But it could still be confusing for someone wading through the 30 pages, not realizing there are different procedures and requirements for the different residency scenarios.
