SPM — the official questionnaire of the Valais hearings
The official interview questionnaire, turned into multiple-choice by us. Other questions are possible at the exam.
The real exam is oral. These values are for practice only and do not reproduce the official exam.
Real exam — How the test works
Real exam: oral, in mandatory hearings (first the commune, then the Grand Council's «Naturalisations» sub-commission); no grade — a positive overall assessment is enough. The questions come from the canton's official questionnaire. We serve it for study, turned into multiple choice — the correct answers are official, but we do not reproduce the oral format.
⚠️ Les émoluments sont fixés par COMMUNE et varient — notre chiffre (CHF 600 seul / 1000 famille + 55 timbre santé) est INDICATIF, pas universel. Le coût total = émolument cantonal SPM + émolument communal. Ex. Monthey 2022 : de CHF 500 (mineur) à 1500 (famille).
Auditions en français OU en allemand (le questionnaire officiel existe dans les deux langues).
