Hi
a question about facilitated naturalisation: if the wife is eligible to apply for the facilitated naturalisation (being married to a Swiss for over 3 years +living here for more than 5 years), what if the husband doesn't agree her to apply (for a strange reason)?

Does anyone have this experience or have heard something about this situation? Many thanks for your opinions!

are they legally separated or divorced?

if not, he really has no say.

He certainly does as if the authorities think the marriage is not working they cetainly won't grant a FACILITATED naturalistion, and the partner has to sign the forms and make a declaration. That's why it's called facilitated......

Thanks very much for your inputs!


Which partner has to sign the forms and make a declaration? what kind of forms and what declaration? Thanks a lot!

The Swiss spouse has to co sign some of the documents as well as provide his confirmation of residency (at least in Geneva)

No chance without partner agreement. during the interview process partner must indicate relationship validity in most situations.
