AKMV Analysis of Your Entitlement to Citizenship by Descent and Birth
Are you interested in applying for Slovak citizenship by descent, but are unsure whether you meet the conditions, which documents you will need, how the entire process works, or do you have other related questions?
We offer our clients the preparation of a written legal opinion, in which we focus in detail on these areas – from the assessment of entitlement, through the list of required documents, to practical information about the course of proceedings and other important aspects.
The analysis also includes an assessment of the possibility of acquiring Slovak citizenship by birth. In this context, we examine the historical legal regulations in force in different periods and assess under which conditions citizenship was granted by birth. This part of the assessment is also included in one comprehensive analysis, so that you have the most accurate overview of your legal status and options.
What can we provide for you as part of this service?
Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive legal analysis and clear guidance, so that you have certainty whether, and in what way, you can claim your right to Slovak citizenship through your ancestors. As part of this service, we will provide you with:
- Professional assessment of your documents
First, you will send us all available documents in your possession. we will examine them in detail in terms of their legal validity, formal correctness, and relevance for the citizenship proceedings. - Explanation of the conditions for acquiring citizenship by descent
We will clearly explain in which cases and under what circumstances you have a real entitlement to apply for citizenship through your ancestors. you will learn how slovak law approaches the assessment of such applications and what must be proven. - Clarification of other legal requirements
The process of acquiring citizenship is not only about documents – it also includes several additional legal criteria. within our legal opinion, we will explain all related conditions that you must meet. - Precise list of required documents
To help you prepare effectively, we will provide you with a clear and structured list of the documents that must be submitted with your application. we will also point out which documents must be officially translated or require a higher form of legalisation (e.g., apostille). - Assessment of the possibility of acquiring citizenship by birth
The analysis also includes verifying whether you may have already automatically acquired slovak citizenship by birth. this possibility is often overlooked, but in some cases, it may mean that you already hold citizenship and do not need to apply again. - Explanation of the residence requirement in slovakia
In certain situations, it is necessary to meet the requirement of residence in the slovak republic. we will explain in detail when this condition is required, what types of residence permits are possible, and how to obtain them in practice. - Comprehensive summary and recommendations
At the end of the written opinion, we will provide you with a clear summary of your situation – the so-called statement of facts – together with recommendations on how to proceed further and how to address any shortcomings. this way, you will gain not only legal certainty but also a concrete plan of next steps.
