You can still watch it here. \nDo you have Slovak ancestry but aren’t eligible for citizenship through descent? Then the Slovak Living Abroad certificate might be the option for you.

The SLA certificate can also speed up the citizenship process for you so you can still get that EU passport. \nThe main eligibility requirements for the SLA certificate are Slovak ancestry (even great-great-grandparents)\, an understanding of Slovak culture and basic understanding of the language (even at an A1 level). You can also apply for naturalization after 3 years of living in Slovakia on the SLA certificate. \nWant to learn more about this program? Join our free 30-minute live webinar to find out if the Slovak Living Abroad program is right for you.
