Renunciation of Slovak Citizenship

In certain cases, a prior renunciation of Slovak citizenship may be a condition for the granting of another state’s citizenship, particularly where that state does not permit dual citizenship. It is likewise possible to apply for release from Slovak citizenship for one’s own specific reasons.

We will be pleased to provide comprehensive legal assistance throughout the process—from assessing your situation, through the preparation and drafting of the required documents, to the final submission of the application to the competent authorities.

Pursuant to Section 9(2) of the Act on Citizenship:
“A person may be released from the state bond of the Slovak Republic if they prove that they hold the citizenship of another state, or a promise of its granting in the event of release from the state bond of the Slovak Republic.”

A person may not be released from the state bond of the Slovak Republic if:
a) criminal proceedings are pending against them, they are serving a sentence, or they have not
served/completed a sentence imposed by a final judgment of a Slovak court;
b) they have outstanding arrears to the tax authority, customs authority, or a municipality; arrears of social insurance contributions; or the health insurance institution records past-due claims against them under special legislation in the Slovak Republic.
