Hi All,

I have been searching the forum to find an answer to my particular question.. I started my facilitated naturalization process about 5 months ago (my hubby is Swiss) and currently we are considering moving to another canton. Would it have any impact on my application (apart from the fact that I need to notify them of my new address)? I heard about difficulties with moving cantons/gemeinde while applying for Swiss citizenship but I'm not sure if it also stands true for those going down the "facilitated" road

Thank you for all your advice!

Hi,

I would not move until you have been naturalized, as the process will be stopped if you change to a different canton which may prolong the procedure eventually. The reason is the canton and the community have to give statements on the level of your integration to the Federal office. If you move the new canton may have to redo the reference and thus drag out the procedure.

Personally I would get it over with and move when you are done, will save you a possible headache.

Greetings
