Impact of FIRE on naturalization

Normally to become a Swiss citizen, you need to be ‘integrated’ which is often taken to mean (among other things) that you have a job and are economically integrated.

Has anyone naturalized after FIREing? I’m wondering if this has adverse effects on the application.

Das Kriterium der Teilnahme am Wirtschaftsleben ist erfüllt, wenn:
[…]
− Bewerbende ausreichende finanzielle Mittel haben, um den Lebensunterhalt von
sich und ihrer Familie zu bestreiten, wenn sie nicht erwerbstätig ist. Vermögende
und Rentenbeziehende sind somit nicht von vornherein von einer Einbürgerung
ausgeschlossen

Worked fine for Tina Turner :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I think it depends on your municipality. It’s not unlikely that they have a special form that your employer has to fill, and you’d need to talk your way out of it.

Don’t worry if you have millions
