In actuality, each person or individual must first be a citizen of a nation to get a passport. If a person was born in Slovenia or has verifiable roots there, they can apply for a Slovenian passport on their own or on behalf of their family. As a foreigner, you have two additional alternatives for obtaining a Slovenian passport: through descent or by investment.
A Slovenian passport applicant must show:
- The applicant must be older than 18 years old
- The applicant must sign the application
- A contract for the provision of immigration services will be signed by you
- The power of attorney you’ve designated to act on your behalf
- Proof of a stable source of income that can meet his and his family’s needs
- Criminal history
- A current passport
- Birth Certificate
- Address Proof
Things to note
- Your passport must be valid for the entire time you will be there
- The applicant’s naturalization does not endanger the nation
- The applicant is exempt from tax liabilities
- All applicants over the age of 12 years will have their fingerprints taken
- The applicant certifies that he or she will adhere to Slovenian law
How Descent Law applies
Because Slovenians are not financially well off, local Families can help you by supplying the paperwork you need for this process. Your financial contribution will be used in this procedure to maintain the ancestors’ graves and their families.
You will join the family that will give you the documents proving your ancestry with them as a member of that family. You are about to purchase a Slovenian passport. For further assurance of their veracity, all these documents must also be notarized.
The heritage or nationality of the parents or grandparents decides or is obtained under this nationality law. Children from diaspora backgrounds can also become citizens. Your parents or grandparents must currently reside in Slovenia, have done so in the past, or possess legally admissible Slovenian ancestry.
If your heritage can be established, you can become a naturalized citizen within a year without giving up your other passport. With your assistance, our qualified attorneys will support you through this procedure, and they will also help you through the last steps until you have received your naturalization.
Note
Be aware that you will need to learn the fundamental national language, and our attorneys will help you with this (you will be put on a short course). Every applicant for Slovenian citizenship must complete a Slovene language test.

Photo requirements for Slovenian passport
When applying for a Slovenian passport, you must provide two identical pictures. They must be 40mm tall and 35mm broad. They should have a light background and reveal the applicant’s complete face by 70 to 80 percent. In the shot, your face should be straight.
