Slovenia – Get Legal Status

Why Slovenian citizenship

Why you should obtain Slovenian citizenship

A Slovenian passport is the key to European freedom and stability. It opens up access to EU countries, allows you to live, study, and work in Europe, and guarantees state protection and support.

EU passport and visa-free travel around the world

Slovenian citizenship gives you the right to travel freely to more than 160 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan, all European Union and Schengen Area countries. The Slovenian passport is among the top 5 most privileged in the world.

The right to live, work, and study in any European Union country

A Slovenian passport unlocks all the benefits of European status. You can build a career in Germany, start a business in Italy, or study in France without applying for additional permits.

Citizenship for the whole family

Children of Slovenian citizens automatically receive citizenship by descent or together with their parents. Spouses can apply under a simplified procedure after several years of marriage. This is a reliable way to ensure a stable future for your family.

A safe and comfortable country to live in

Slovenia is an environmentally friendly, safe, and economically stable country with a high standard of living. Citizens enjoy European-level education, healthcare, and social protection.

Flexible legal grounds

There are several ways to obtain citizenship: by descent, marriage, long-term residence, restoration, or special merits. Repatriation based on Slovenian roots is one of the fastest and most accessible ways.

Financial and tax advantages

Slovenia is part of the European Single Market. Citizens of the country have access to EU banks, preferential tax regimes, investment programs, and capital protection at the EU level.

Verification of grounds

We analyze your situation, determine the possible path — repatriation, marriage, naturalization, or restoration — and provide clear recommendations on deadlines and documents.

Preparation of the dossier

We collect all the necessary references, archival data, translations, and notarizations. If necessary, we request documents from Slovenia to confirm origin.

Submission of the application

The package of documents is sent to the Slovenian Ministry of the Interior or the consulate at the place of residence. We monitor the process and keep you informed at every step.

Verification and review of the case

Government agencies verify the accuracy of the data and compliance with the conditions. Once approved, a decision on granting citizenship is issued.

Obtaining a passport and ID card

After obtaining citizenship, an identity card (Osebna izkaznica) and a Slovenian passport are issued, confirming your status as a citizen of the European Union.

Frequently asked questions
about Slovenian citizenship

We have prepared answers to frequently asked questions about the process of obtaining Slovenian citizenship. If necessary, our specialists will provide personal consultation and help you choose the best path to citizenship.

Yes, naturalization requires proof of Slovenian language proficiency at the A2 level. The test is relatively simple and is conducted at accredited centers. Simplified conditions are allowed for descendants of Slovenians and applicants restoring citizenship.

Slovenia allows dual citizenship in limited cases. This is usually possible in cases of repatriation, restoration, or if renunciation of previous citizenship is impossible for objective reasons. We will help you determine whether this applies to your case.

You will need your passport, birth and marriage certificates, documents proving your origin, certificates of income, residence, and no criminal record, as well as translations and apostilles. We will prepare a complete package in accordance with the requirements of the Slovenian Ministry of the Interior.

Yes, minor children receive citizenship together with their parents or upon separate application. If the child is born in wedlock to a Slovenian citizen, the procedure is expedited.

No, there is no direct “citizenship for investment” program in Slovenia. However, if you open a business and have long-term legal residence, you can obtain a residence permit and then apply for citizenship.

On average, it takes 12 to 24 months, depending on the grounds and the completeness of the dossier. Repatriation takes less time than naturalization.

Yes, you must be physically present when submitting your application and receiving your passport. However, the preparation and legal verification of documents can be done remotely.

To obtain citizenship through marriage, you must live in Slovenia for at least 2 years after the marriage and meet other requirements, such as language proficiency and integration into society.
