Then your application is submitted by the Ministry of Interior to the Council of Ministers for approval.

The Council of Ministers has complete discretionary power regarding the approval of a Citizenship Application.

Please note there is a payment of €5,000 required for each applicant that constitutes the certificate issuing fee.

This might take a couple of weeks.
