I thought it was Lausanne as you need only 2 years of residency in the canton and it is big city, which in general are more accepting. If processing speed is an issue there might be better options.

For Zurich and Basel Stadt you need 2 years of residency in the commune (Just if you are wondering: Canton Basel-Stadt consists of 3 communes). In canton Jura you also need two years in the commune. The biggest commune is Delémont with shy of 13k inhabitants.

	If anything existing Brits are in a better position than EU nationals as you guys don't have an agreement in place should the referendum pass!

Regular permit C after 5 years is based on bilateral agreements with other countries. Nothing would change with a CHexit from the FMOP agreement with the EU.

Surely the key point is how long you have to be resident in the gemeinde before you can apply? Moving cantons would reset the clock...

I don't know which is the easiest canton to become Swiss but I can tell you that Vaud takes probably the longest time to process the naturalisation...

Canton Swiss, located in the country of Swaziland. Fly in from Sweden.

	I believe Zürich (city) is one of the easiest communes to get citizenship. First it's huge with over 400000 people so there won't be any absurdly specific questions like they like to ask in many small villages, they issue a brochure containing answers to everything that can be asked regarding "local knowledge", and finally the city has an efficient bureaucracy apparatus dedicated to naturalisation so the time it takes to process the application is somewhat predictable.

Everything? Where I go to listen to Udo Jurgens and Hildegard Knef on the jukebox wasn’t included
