Co navigar en las pretensiuns da stadinadi 2026, tests d'integraziun ed obstaculs chantunals

Ir per in passaport svizzer è in marathon, betg in sprint. La Svizra conceda betg automaticamain la stadinadi tras la naschientscha sin ses terren (ius soli); ella vegn concedida tras il sang (ius sanguinis) u tras in process d'einbürgerung rigurus. La Svizra permetta cumplet la dupla stadinadi.
