In this second part of our episode on citizenship, we are speaking with an Englishman who successfully gained Slovak citizenship. Richard Swales came to Slovakia in 2002 on holiday and never left. It took 17 years for him feel the need for citizenship. Why did he finally decide to seek citizenship? How long was the process? How has citizenship changed and improved his life? We answer these questions and more in this episode.
Here is the link to the IOM webpage on Slovak citizenship.
