Can I join the Swiss military if I become a citizen or legal resident? |
Travel Info Can I join the Swiss military if I become a citizen or legal resident? Travel Tips There is no possibility for foreign residents to join the Swiss army. You would have to join the Swiss army if you became a Swiss citizen. To apply for a Swiss Citizenship you need to have lived several years in the country and meet numbers of other hard requirements. Therefore I assume that you would be too old for the Swiss army by the date you would qualify for a Swiss citizenship. Source(s): I am member of the Swiss Army Other Travel Tips who cares...the point is all u get to defend urself is a swiss army knife....and what good is a bottle opener in the face of the enemy? mind u, the swiss dont get involved in anything anyway, so u might be alright I don't believe you can. Every Swiss male, upon turning 20, is required to undergo 15 weeks of military training. If you are a Swiss male, and live in another country, you must tithe 2% of you income for you military exemption. If you wanted to become a Swiss Guard first and foremost you must be Catholic. It is a very highly sought after position and must be born in Switzerland. http://www.uzh.ch/angpsy/schallbe/forsch... http://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/en/home/topi... http://europeforvisitors.com/switzaustri... You just cannot join the army in Switzerland like in the US. It is mandatory when you reach 20 yrs old (male). Must be Swiss citizen, not a legal resident. You can't just come to switzerland and join the army. Besides, there are lots of swiss who don't want to, and so why do you want to? |
