Becoming a citizen
There is a long process involved in becoming a citizen of Fortem. If you are not already a citizen, as stated before, you need to have all the paperwork, your passport and enough money to support yourself without a bank loan to receive a B-permit which allows you to reside in the country as long as you have a steady job.
Once you have lived in Fortem for over 3 years, you can apply for a C-permit, which is one step closer to becoming a citizen. Having a C-permit, it makes it easier to apply for things, without having to fill in the paperwork. To receive the C-permit, you only need to fill out the paperwork that comes with it. Once the government of that canton looks at it and agrees with your request, you will receive the C-permit. Generally, almost everyone in the country who applies for the C-permit receives it, as long as they have lived there for at least 3 years.
Once you have a C-permit, you need to wait another at least another 4 years to apply to become a citizen. You have to have lived in the country for a minimum of 7 years to request citizenship. The process to become a citizen takes longer than the C-permit, because you need to pass several tests covering your knowledge of civics and language.
If the test is failed, the applicant must take the test again, but this time including an oral assessment. If the test is passed, the request and the result is sent to the canton’s government, which will again either accept or decline your request for citizenship. Once accepted, the request will be sent to Fortem’s main canton headquarters in Milan. If the applicant’s request and paperwork are accepted, the applicant is granted citizenship and may apply for a Fortem passport. This is a long process that can take between 6 months to 2 years, depending on the different levels of government.
This is a long and stressful process, but Fortem believes that demonstrable efforts to integrate are essential in becoming a citizen (knowledge of Fortem lifestyle, knowledge of at least one national language and proven integration into society).
Restrictions
People who do not speak at least level B1 Italian, are not allowed to even take the test. People with level B1 and above are allowed to take the test.
These rules sound really strict and slightly like a dictatorship, because of the forcing of learning Italian, however, the government and the citizens believe that this long process is necessary, because if you are a citizen, but cannot speak the language, it defeats the whole purpose.
