Slovakia Naturalization Program
The Slovakia Naturalization Program is a structured pathway to European Union citizenship, supported by a €500,000 Slovak Government Bond with a 5-year tenor. It is presented as a public-benefit and national-interest route — not a "citizenship-by-investment" product — making it a legally distinct and credible pathway to full EU citizenship.
The bond is backed by Allianz, one of the world's largest financial services groups, and issued by the Slovak Ministry of Finance — providing capital protection for the bondholder throughout the term. VIMB and its specialist legal team manage the entire process on the applicant's behalf.
This is an advisor-led, document-driven process targeting a processing timeframe of approximately 120–160 days from bond issuance and file readiness through to naturalization.
The Act of the National Council of the Slovak Republic No. 40/1993 Coll. on Citizenship ("Citizenship Act"), Section 7(2)(b) — which provides a pathway for granting Slovak citizenship to foreign nationals who have made significant contributions to the country.
Capital-Protected by Design
Unlike contribution-based programs, the Slovakia pathway involves a capital-protected government bond — your €500,000 is held as a financial instrument to maturity, not donated. It is one of the most structurally sound citizenship pathways available.

VIMB conducts a confidential pre-check of your profile — KYC, source of funds, and due diligence readiness — to confirm eligibility before any formal commitment or payment is made.
Formal engagement is confirmed, service agreement signed, and the down-payment is made. File preparation begins — VIMB coordinates the full document checklist and initial compliance review.
VIMB collects and reviews all required civil documents — certified passport copy, police clearance, birth and marriage certificates as applicable, and source-of-funds documentation. All documents are reviewed for compliance before submission.
The €500,000 Slovak Government Bond is subscribed and issued in the applicant's name. The bond is backed by Allianz and issued by the Slovak Ministry of Finance. Capital is held to maturity and returned at the end of the 5-year term.
The full naturalization application is submitted to the Slovak authorities. Background, KYC, and source-of-wealth checks are conducted. VIMB coordinates all submissions and stakeholder management on the applicant's behalf.
Slovak authorities conduct formal screening in accordance with the Citizenship Act, Section 7(2)(b). Timeline at this stage is subject to file quality, screening outcomes, and administrative timelines. Additional administrative requirements may apply depending on workflow.
On approval, the Slovak citizenship certificate is issued to the principal applicant. Qualifying immediate family members simultaneously receive permanent residency, which leads to naturalization eligibility after 5 years.
The Slovak passport is issued and delivered, granting the applicant full EU citizenship and all associated rights — including the right to live, work, and travel freely across all 27 EU member states.
