Therefore, I got my C permit recently, but through marriage one, on the permit "Bewilligung C Famillienangehoriger" is written.
My question is now, is there anything stopping me from applying Swiss citizenship? Should I start citizenship application since it will anyways take time to process?
I am not sure you can apply through normal naturalization while being married to a Swiss, most probably your only option is to go through facilitated. You already qualify which is 5 years in CH, 3 years married and you dont need C permit for this one.
so, you are saying, normal may not be an option for me because married.
By the way, is there a duration or difficulty difference to get passport from the day you start application, between facilitated and normal naturalization?
Dear Tom, i realize you have made your experiences in like 1922 or so, today is 2022. Please note, her C permit is already ‘dependent’, before you tell me I am wrong the next time, think twice. Thank you
Why would you put yourself through normal if you are entitled to facilitated? Facilitated is easier, quicker and cheaper and pretty much guaranteed - even I managed it no dramas!
There are certain implications to the facilitated one, risks of losing the citizenship if divorced within 8 years after. Therefore, some ppl prefer to do an independent naturalization, not through marriage
Not sure what you are asking for exactly, but I wanted to refute the inaccurate information of the earlier poster as one can indeed do normal naturalisation and not facilitated if they choose when being married to a Swiss. I did exactly that recently, becoming a Swiss citizen in 2021 on my own.
If you want to know the reasons why, well I'll mention it, but it probably won't be a popular these on these boards, but I stand up for my ideologies despite knowing I'm in minority and probably get groaned. I don't believe in marriage and think it is an outdated convention. Most States still perpetuate this custom, raise it as the norm, and give certain advantages or privileges as a result. In the 21st century I don't want any part of it, thus I regret marrying and everything associated with it, and thus I don't want anything to do with perpetuating it, especially not benefitting in any way, as that creates internal turmoil for me. Thus, I did naturalisation like everyone else and there was no benefit of a piece of paper.
Because maybe you want your own identity and don't want to live your life through someone else's ties, identity, relationship. Maybe you feel closer ties to where you live and don't have any relation with someone else's heimatort, etc. Maybe someone wants to stand on their own two feet and be themselves.
