Better check how long/difficult is the settlement/citizenship process. Is it even achievable? There are fairer places to go, it should be a strategic decision n

  I've done some checking and if you're going to settle there on a perm basis, I think it would be worth it. http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/becoming-a-citizen/29288376 http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/becoming-a-citizen/29288376 Foreigners with no direct blood ties to Switzerland through either birth or marriage must live in the country for at least 10 years (reduced from 12 years by a new law passed in June 2014) before they can apply for citizenship. (Years spent in the country between age ten and 20 count double). The person must be well integrated, familiar with customs and traditions, law abiding, and pose no threat to internal or external security. The Federal Migration Office will then “green light” an applicant’s request to begin the naturalisation process but that does not mean citizenship is certain. Rather, cantons and municipalities have their own requirements that must be met. One canton, for example, might require applicants to live for two years in the region while another might require a decade. For more on the process, please visit the Federal Migration Office. The other interesting thing is being born in the country doesn't mean you're granted citizenship.
