Switzerland - flag Switzerland - Passport & Nationality - Swiss Citizenship (Renaturalistion)

As with facilitated naturalisation, renaturalisation is in the responsibility of the Confederation; cantons and communities have a right of appeal. The general requirement for renaturalisation is close connections with Switzerland. Renaturalisation can be obtained by people who have lost Swiss nationality (by forfeiture, marriage or release from Swiss nationality).

Applicants are particularly foreign spouses of Swiss nationals and foreign children, one of whose parents is Swiss.

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
