For many candidates, this interview feels uncertain or stressful. You may wonder what questions will be asked, how formal the interview will be, or whether your level of knowledge is “enough”.
With the right preparation and guidance, however, this interview becomes a calm, structured conversation — and an opportunity to confirm your successful integration into Swiss society.
Our Swiss naturalisation interview preparation is designed to help you approach this final stage with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.
