Child of a Swiss mother

It feels somehow wrong that just because my mother was Swiss instead of my father I have to jump through all sorts of hoops to get my citizenship :/

And even more wrong that if I had been born in the same cirumstances just a decade later I would have got it automatically.

Just venting. Looks like I may never be able to get it unless I actually move there, and even then noone can quite tell me how long it would take. It "looks" like I can apply for it after living in Switzerland for 3 years.

If you don't "actually move there", what would you want Swiss citizenship for exactly?

I certainly hope to move there someday.

Moving there with citizenship is almost certainly much much easier than moving there without citizenship and having to wait three plus years to get it.

Hello Hanterre,
Did you ever complete the naturalization process? I have a few questions.
