Testimonials from clients who have obtained Slovenian citizenship by repatriation
View allI knew that my great-grandmother lived in Slovenia, but I never thought I would need it. And then a neighbor told me that she had made a passport for herself at Mycitizenagency and that there are repatriation programs that make it easier to get citizenship. Of course, I was interested: why not fly around the world without a visa, and live wherever you want in Europe. I liked working with the lawyers - everything was clear, smooth and fast. Thank you!
As a design engineer, I have long dreamed of getting a job in Denmark, where my labor will be properly appreciated. I even learned the language up to B1, but I couldn't get an offer - employers were saying that it's very difficult for non-EU citizens to get a job. I decided to consult with migration specialists - maybe they could help me somehow open a residence permit. In the end, everything turned out much better, I got a Slovenian passport in just six months, and with it I was welcomed in Denmark. I easily found a job for 6000 EUR per month and moved my family to my place without any problems at all. So I advise you to contact Mycitizenagency if you have any plans in Europe
Mycitizenagency helped me to finally resolve an issue that I had been dealing with for a long time, but without success. I knew that I could get a Slovenian passport after my grandfather, but I could not find the necessary documents anywhere. The queues at the embassies were crazy, and no matter how many times I looked, there were never any free spots for appointments. My lawyer turned out to be a real professional: he solved all the questions for me, collected the documents and submitted the citizenship request, I was almost never involved in anything. Finally, I have my long-awaited passport, for which I thank Mycitizenagency.
I am glad that I contacted Mycitizenagency on the recommendation of a colleague) We managed to quickly make passports in Slovenia for me and my son, who will be enrolled next year. We have already chosen several universities where the child can study for free as an EU citizen and there are courses in English) The lawyers are good, they did everything they promised. I recommend them)
I would highly recommend working with Mycitizenagency on European citizenship issues! I was pleasantly surprised by how professionally the lawyers were able to check my background and advised me on two ways of obtaining a second passport. We decided on Slovenia, because with this passport you can fly without a visa to the U.S., and under the program you do not need to pass a language test and report your income. The procedure itself was almost unnoticeable for me: the lawyers took care of collecting the documents, searching for old certificates, all the formalities and even the trip to Slovenia itself. All I had to do was wait for the result, and then I had to go and get my citizenship documents and make passports.
I was satisfied with the way Mycitizenagency specialists worked. They did not try to promote me to some more expensive programs, they analyzed my documents and chose the most normal option of obtaining a passport. It was important for me to obtain citizenship as quickly as possible, because I was not planning to return home, and my residence permit in Italy was coming to an end. Everything was accomplished in just six months, and most of the time I just enjoyed my life and periodically received news from the lawyers about how the case was progressing. Everything is official and businesslike, it's a pleasure to deal with such professionals
