Swiss Naturalization Interview Questions – Video Overview

In this video, I explain what to expect in the Swiss naturalization interview based on real questions collected from dozens of applicants.

You’ll learn how the interview is structured, which five topic areas are covered, how personal motivation and integration are assessed, and why missing a question usually isn’t a deal-breaker.

The video also clarifies common concerns about language requirements, Swiss German vs. standard German, and which answers you should definitely avoid.

A practical, realistic overview that helps you prepare with confidence and focus on what really matters.
