I got the C Permit in the post a few days later - with no German certificate (even though I am British - renowned for poor linguistic skills).
Just the following checks / certificates:
- debt register
- criminal record
- no use of social welfare funds in the last 3 years
- my old B permit
- employment contract
This was back in June this year.
I spoke in German to the lady.
It's funny:
- she asked where my German certificate was
- I looked confused and queried
- she looked at the entry date on my B Permit and backed down.
But as Frank2k said maybe the rules have changed.
I saw/heard a couple of things recently that from 2018 the rules on certain people applying for citizenship don't require local language skills. e.g. spouses of Swiss citizens who have lived in CH more than 10 years and married over 3 years. anyone else heard anything about this?
