Slovenian Citizenship by Investment: One of the Most Attractive Routes to an EU Passport
The program is approved by the European Commission and involves investment in the real economy, with most of the sum returned afterward. It suits entrepreneurs, investors and families who value a predictable process and the legal soundness of every step.
Two short visits to Slovenia across the entire process. Relocation and annual visits to the country are not required.
Including the US, Canada, the UK, Japan and China.
The main applicant obtains Slovenian citizenship with no language exam. Basic Slovenian is required only for the spouse and children.
Slovenia does not require the main applicant to renounce their current citizenship. You keep your existing passport and gain all the opportunities of a Slovenian citizen.
You invest EUR 500,000 in a project to build electric-vehicle charging stations. This is not a charitable contribution: EUR 450,000 is returned to you within a month of receiving the passport.
A Slovenian passport grants the right to live, work and run a business in any European Union state, with no visas and no permits.

Transparent Pricing of Slovenian Citizenship by Investment
In the citizenship-by-investment market there are still schemes where the final figure emerges only along the way. We work differently: the full cost is fixed in the contract before the first payment. The three payment stages are tied to specific results, and money reaches us only once the work is done. Citizenship for your spouse and children under 18 is included, with no surcharge for the family.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I obtain Slovenian citizenship through investment, and where do I begin?
The route runs through several stages: obtaining a residence permit on the basis of a work visa, investing EUR 500,000 or more in an EU-approved project (the construction of electric-vehicle charging stations), applying for citizenship after one year of residency, the application review, and receipt of the passport. In total it takes two short visits to Slovenia. The place to begin is a free consultation, where we assess your case and sign the contract.
How will the EUR 450,000 investment be returned to me?
Of the EUR 500,000 invested, EUR 450,000 is returned to you within a month of receiving the passport, in line with the investment agreement. The net non-refundable portion of the investment therefore comes to EUR 50,000.
Is dual citizenship permitted in Slovenia?
