Frequently Asked Questions

What is Slovak citizenship by descent?

Slovak citizenship by descent allows individuals with Slovak ancestors to claim citizenship without residency requirements. You are eligible if a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent was a Slovak or Czechoslovak citizen and did not voluntarily acquire another citizenship before 1993.

How long does Slovak citizenship by descent take?

Processing time is 6-24 months depending on document availability. Simple cases with available records: 6-12 months. Complex cases requiring archive research: 12-24 months.

What documents are required?

• Birth certificates for applicant and Slovak ancestor
• Marriage certificates in the lineage
• Proof of ancestor's Slovak citizenship (birth/baptism record, passport, military records)
• Applicant's current passport
• All foreign documents need apostille or superlegalization

How much does it cost?

• Legal service fee: €1,500-4,000 depending on complexity
• Government fees: €20 citizenship fee
• Additional: document translations (€20-50/page), apostilles, archive searches
• Initial consultation: €250 for 60 minutes

Can I get citizenship if my ancestor left before 1918?

Possibly yes. If your ancestor was born in territory that became Slovakia after 1918 and emigrated before that date, you may qualify. The key factor is whether they or their descendants ever held Czechoslovak or Slovak citizenship. Each case requires individual assessment.

Does Slovakia allow dual citizenship?

Yes. You can hold Slovak citizenship alongside US, UK, Canadian, Australian, or other citizenship. No requirement to renounce existing citizenship.

What is the difference between citizenship by descent and naturalization?

• By descent: Requires Slovak ancestry, no residency needed, 6-24 months processing
• Naturalization: Requires 8 years residence, Slovak language test, integration requirements

Can my children get Slovak citizenship?

Yes. Minor children automatically receive citizenship when a parent obtains it. Adult children must apply separately but can use the same ancestral documentation. No age limit for applications.
