The Slovak Living Abroad Certificate
Complete Guidance from Eligibility to Submission
What is the Slovak Living Abroad Certificate (SLA)?
The Slovak Living Abroad Certificate (SLA) is a powerful recognition of your Slovak heritage, offering exclusive rights and opportunities for Slovak descendants worldwide.
SLA is designed for people who do not hold Slovak citizenship but can demonstrate Slovak ancestry and a connection to their Slovak heritage.
It is not Slovak citizenship but it provides important benefits and open new opportunities in Slovakia.
Key Benefits of the SLA
-
Fast Track to Slovak Residency
-
Accelerated Path to EU Citizenship – The SLA simplifies the process of obtaining Slovak and EU citizenship in the future.

Who Benefits Most from
the SLA?
The SLA Certificate is particularly valuable for fourth-generation and more distant descendants of Slovaks who may not qualify for citizenship by descent.
For these descendants, SLA status provides another way to access exclusive rights and opportunities as a Slovak descendant. It is also a fast track to securing your Slovak residency and strengthening your path to Slovak citizenship.

Global Slovakia: Pioneers in Citizenship Advocacy
Global Slovakia, led by Dr. Zuzana Palovic, became a driving force in expanding Slovak citizenship eligibility. As one of the leaders of the One Slovak Family Movement, Zuzana and her team spent nearly two years lobbying the Slovak government, advocating for the rights of Slovak descendants to reconnect with their ancestral homeland.
Their tireless efforts paid off. In April 2022, history was made—the Slovak government amended the Citizenship Act, for the first time ever extending eligibility to the third generation of Slovak descendants.
If your grandparent or great-grandparent was Slovak, this is your moment—you may now be eligible to reclaim your Slovak citizenship and secure your European passport!
