How to get Bosnia and Herzegovina citizenship
Visa-free Schengen, but not before eight years of living in the country and giving up a Russian or Ukrainian passport. We cover every legal route in 2026: naturalization, marriage, descent and the particular benefit clause that gets marketed as an investor program.
Bosnia and Herzegovina does not sell passports: the law provides for naturalization after five years of temporary and three years of permanent residence, marriage, descent and a government decision on particular benefit. Below are the requirements, timelines, fees and an honest calculation for citizens of Russia and Ukraine.
Can you get Bosnia and Herzegovina citizenship in 2026
A Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) passport opens the Schengen area without a visa, but it cannot be bought. The law sets no fixed amount, no state fund and no citizenship by investment program. The standard route for a foreigner takes at least eight years: five years on a temporary residence permit, then three years of permanent residence.
Everything is governed by the Law on Citizenship of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Zakon o državljanstvu Bosne i Hercegovine). The current version is the official consolidated text published in the Official Gazette of BiH (Službeni glasnik BiH) No. 22/16. The last substantive amendments came in 2013 (No. 87/13): the naturalization requirement was rewritten from eight years of residence to three years of permanent residence, and requirements on income, paid taxes and security vetting were added.
Every BiH citizen is also a citizen of one of the country's two constituent parts (entities): the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina or Republika Srpska. That is why naturalization is decided by the entity authorities or by Brčko District, while the Ministry of Civil Affairs of BiH (Ministarstvo civilnih poslova) can send a decision back for review.
| Ground | Article of Law 22/16 | Key conditions | Realistic minimum to a passport |
|---|---|---|---|
| Naturalization | Article 9 | 3 years of permanent residence, language, income, renouncing prior citizenship | about 8 years: 5 years temporary + 3 years permanent residence |
| Marriage to a BiH citizen | Article 10 | marriage of 5+ years, permanent residence, renouncing prior citizenship | about 5 years: permanent residence comes after 5 years of temporary residence |
| Descent | Article 6 | a parent who is a BiH citizen; if born abroad, registration before age 23 | a few weeks to a few months |
| Returning emigrants and their descendants | Article 13 | return to BiH; no 3-year permanent residence and no renunciation | depends on the residence permit |
| Particular benefit to the state | Article 15 (Article 13 in the old numbering) | recommendation by an authorized body, unanimous decision of the Council of Ministers | no set timeline, at the government's discretion |
In short, a Russian or Ukrainian with no Bosnian roots has two real options. The long one is living in the country on temporary and then permanent residence. The narrow one is the particular benefit clause, where the decision is political and needs no explanation.

How to get Bosnian citizenship by naturalization: 12 requirements
Three years of permanent residence is the figure in the law, and it is the one that misleads. To get permanent residence, a foreigner must first live in the country continuously for five years on a temporary residence permit (Article 79 of the Law on Aliens, Zakon o strancima). So the honest minimum is eight years, which is why the old wording "8 years of residence" still circulates online and in practice gives the same result.
Article 9 of the citizenship law lists 12 requirements, and all of them must be met at once.
| Requirement | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Age 18 or over | children acquire citizenship with a parent under a separate Article 11 |
| Permanent residence for at least 3 years before applying | counted from the date the permanent residence permit was approved |
| Sufficient knowledge of the language and script of one of the constituent peoples | Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian; the Federation accepts a B1 exam certificate or a diploma from education in that language |
| No sentence over 3 years for an intentional crime within the last 8 years | certificates from the country of origin and from BiH |
| No pending criminal case and no expulsion order | checked by the police in BiH databases |
| Renouncing prior citizenship | except for countries with a dual citizenship treaty and cases where renunciation is not allowed or cannot reasonably be required |
| Steady income or proven means of support | employment contract, pension or other evidence |
| All taxes and other payments settled | certificates from BiH and the country of origin |
| No threat to security | vetting by the Ministry of Security of BiH and the Intelligence and Security Agency (Obavještajno-sigurnosna agencija, OSA) |
| Statement accepting the constitutional order of BiH | signed and certified |
| A valid guarantee of admission to citizenship (garancija) | an interim decision against which the applicant renounces prior citizenship |
There is a caveat that should not be skipped. Paragraph 2 of Article 9 allows a refusal even when every requirement is met, if there are grounds to believe the naturalization threatens security or is simply not in the country's interest based on an overall assessment of the applicant.
The five years of temporary residence before permanent residence count as continuous if the applicant was away from the country for no more than 10 months in total or 6 months at a time.
Which Bosnia and Herzegovina residence permits count toward citizenship
Not every residence permit leads to a passport. The Law on Aliens (Službeni glasnik BiH No. 88/15, amended by 34/21 and 63/23) explicitly lists the grounds whose years do not count toward the five-year requirement for permanent residence. Choosing the wrong ground can cost several years.
| Residence ground | Conditions | Counts toward permanent residence |
|---|---|---|
| Employment with a work permit | the permit is issued by the employment service of the entity or Brčko District before entry | yes |
| Founder of a company in BiH | the company employs at least 5 BiH citizens per foreigner, founders included, pays them a gross salary of at least the national average and pays its taxes on time (Article 77) | yes, as an express exception to the general bar (Article 80) |
| Family reunification with a BiH citizen | marriage or other family tie, housing, means | yes |
| Ownership of real estate | granted only as an exception and where there is an effective connection (efektivna veza) with the country, meaning real ties to BiH beyond the purchase itself (Articles 48 and 61) | not on the list of excluded grounds, but approval is at the Service's discretion |
| Secondary or university education | enrollment at a school or university | half of the time counts; permanent residence cannot be requested from a student permit |
| Work without a work permit, including remote work for a foreign company | up to 90 days in 180 on a visa or visa-free stay, with a work registration certificate | no |
| Other justified reasons | at the Service's discretion | no |
BiH has no dedicated digital nomad visa. The 2023 amendments allowed remote work for a foreign employer or one's own foreign company without a work permit, but only for up to 90 days in 180 and with no right to a residence permit.
Residence permits are issued by the Service for Foreigners' Affairs (Služba za poslove sa strancima) for up to one year and are renewed on the same ground. The first application is usually filed abroad through a BiH consulate; filing inside the country is possible for those who entered visa-free or on a long-stay D visa. By law the Service decides within 60 days if the application was filed in BiH and within 90 days if filed through a consulate. The fee for approving or renewing temporary residence is about $90; permanent residence costs about $120.
Beyond five years of residence, permanent residence requires means of support, housing, health insurance, clean criminal record certificates and a language exam. Graduates of schools and universities taught in a BiH language and non-working applicants over 60 are exempt from the exam.

Bosnia and Herzegovina citizenship by investment: is there a program
Bosnia and Herzegovina has no citizenship by investment program: the law contains no threshold, no fund and no list of eligible investments. The only opening is Article 15 (called Article 13 in the old numbering and in news reports): a foreigner may be naturalized if this is considered of particular benefit (naročita korist) to the country. Such an applicant is exempt from the age requirement, the three years of permanent residence and renouncing their existing passport.
The criteria are set out in a rulebook (pravilnik) adopted by the Council of Ministers of BiH (Vijeće ministara) on 16 July 2009. In the economy, particular benefit covers owners or managers of companies that have invested significant funds in BiH or employ a significant number of workers. The rulebook names no amount. A recommendation is needed from one of nine bodies: the relevant BiH ministry, the Foreign Trade Chamber, the governments of the Federation, Republika Srpska or Brčko District, the entity chambers of commerce, the Olympic Committee or national sports federations.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs prepares the file and the Council of Ministers decides, unanimously. The rulebook states outright that the decision is discretionary and requires no explanation. One minister against, and there is no decision.
| Indicator | Data |
|---|---|
| Applications on particular benefit grounds from 1 January 2023 to 1 July 2026 | 56 |
| Approved over the same period | 43: 12 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 15 in 2025, 3 in the first half of 2026 |
| Fields of approved applications | economy 19, sport 17, science 3, healthcare 3, culture 1 |
The figures were released by the BiH Ministry of Civil Affairs. That is about 12 approvals a year for the whole country, and roughly 4 in 10 are athletes for national teams.
High-profile cases show how political the tool is. On 17 September 2025 Russian national Lyudmila Budilova received citizenship under this article; she founded the Banja Luka company EVA Genesis with share capital of one convertible mark and was recommended by the Chamber of Commerce of Republika Srpska. The promised large investments did not follow. On 30 July 2026 the Council of Ministers was due to consider the application of Ilya Perekopsky, one of Telegram's top managers, who planned to buy into the same company. Four ministers announced in advance that they would not support it, and the item was dropped from the agenda together with several similar applications.
At the same session a draft of a new rulebook on particular benefit admissions failed the first vote, so the 2009 rulebook remains in force. The conclusion is simple: money alone does not buy the passport, and a Russian applicant's file is decided by a politically divided government.
Bosnia and Herzegovina citizenship by marriage
Marriage to a BiH citizen cuts the road to a passport from about eight years to about five, but it does not make it short. Article 10 of the law sets only four conditions: the marriage has lasted at least five years and still exists on the filing date, the foreign spouse holds approved permanent residence, has renounced prior citizenship (unless a dual citizenship treaty applies) and is not a security threat.
Article 10 does not require a language exam, proof of income or three years of permanent residence. The bottleneck is elsewhere: under the Law on Aliens, permanent residence is granted after five years of continuous temporary residence, including on family reunification grounds. So if the wedding and the move happen in the same year, the citizenship application can realistically be filed after about five years, when both periods are met.
| Stage | When | What is needed |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary residence for family reunification | right after the marriage | marriage certificate, housing, means, insurance, criminal record certificate |
| Renewals | every year | same ground, criminal record certificate now from BiH |
| Permanent residence | after 5 years of temporary residence | language, means, housing, insurance |
| Citizenship application | once the marriage has lasted 5 years and permanent residence is granted | birth and marriage certificates, passport, proof of the spouse's citizenship, fee |
A sham marriage for a passport is a bad idea legally as well: the law allows citizenship obtained by fraud or by concealing material facts to be revoked. The spouse of a returning emigrant (Article 13) is exempt from the permanent residence requirement, but the five-year marriage and renunciation conditions still apply.
Let us check whether you qualify
Three questions in the chat show whether you meet the requirements.
Bosnian citizenship by descent and for former citizens
The fastest route is descent: if citizenship arose at birth, it is not granted but simply entered in the register, which takes from a few weeks to a few months. There is no need to give up another passport. But the rules depend on the year of birth, and this is where most mistakes happen.
| Situation | Which law | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Both parents were BiH citizens at the time of birth | any year of birth | citizen from birth, no deadline |
| Born before 1 January 1998 abroad, one parent from BiH, the other a citizen of the former Yugoslavia (SFRY) | old Law of the Republic of BiH No. 30/96 | citizen from birth, age does not matter |
| Born before 1 January 1998 abroad, one parent from BiH, the other a non-SFRY foreigner, for example a Soviet citizen | old law No. 30/96 | only if registered as a BiH citizen before age 23 or raised and educated in BiH |
| Born on or after 1 January 1998 abroad, one parent from BiH | current Law No. 22/16, Article 6 | an application for registration must be filed before age 23 |
| Grandparent from BiH, parents never held citizenship | Article 13 | no direct right; the relief applies only to first and second generation descendants of emigrants who have returned to live in BiH |
For readers from Russia and Ukraine the third row is the key one. A child of a Bosnian father and a Soviet mother born in the USSR in the 1980s has almost certainly missed the age-23 deadline unless registered at a consulate. What remains is the general route, or Article 13 if the parent emigrated from BiH and the descendant is moving back to live there.
Former citizens who gave up BiH citizenship for another passport can return under Article 14 without the three years of permanent residence, but with one year of temporary residence and renunciation of the new citizenship. On 30 June 2026 the House of Representatives of the BiH parliament passed at first reading amendments by MP Jasmin Imamović that would leave such applicants only three conditions: no serious criminal conviction, no security threat, acceptance of the constitutional order. A second reading and the House of Peoples are still ahead, and the amendments do not affect foreigners with no Bosnian past.
Bosnia and Herzegovina dual citizenship: Serbia, Croatia, Sweden and everyone else
Dual citizenship on naturalization in BiH is allowed only for citizens of three countries: Serbia, Croatia and Sweden. Bilateral treaties approved by parliament apply to them (Article 16 of the law). There are no such treaties with Russia or Ukraine, so a Russian or Ukrainian obtaining a passport under the general rules or by marriage must give up their prior citizenship.
| Country | Treaty | What it gives |
|---|---|---|
| Serbia | concluded with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, published in the Official Gazette of BiH, international treaties section, No. 4/03; Serbia is the successor | citizenship of the other country without renouncing the first |
| Croatia | in force since 2012 | the same; in the Federation, citizens of Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro do not have to prove language knowledge |
| Sweden | published in the international treaties section No. 2/06 | citizenship of the other country without renouncing the first |
| Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Austria and others | none | renunciation of prior citizenship is required on naturalization and marriage |
The procedure has two steps. First the entity issues a guarantee of admission to citizenship (garancija), valid for two years from the date the Ministry of Civil Affairs gives its consent. Within that time the applicant must complete renunciation through their own country's consulate and bring the document. Only then is the admission decision issued. If renunciation is not completed within two years, the guarantee expires.
The law keeps a narrow exception: renunciation is not required if the other country's law does not allow it or it cannot reasonably be required. How this applies to a particular Russian or Ukrainian is decided by the entity authority case by case, so it cannot be counted on in advance.
Renunciation can be avoided in three cases: citizenship by descent, a returning emigrant or descendant (Article 13), and particular benefit (Article 15). For BiH citizens who acquire a second passport abroad, there has been no automatic loss of citizenship since 2013, when the provision on loss by operation of law was deleted. Countries that allow a second passport are covered in our review of dual citizenship in 2026.
How much Bosnian citizenship costs and how long it takes
State fees in BiH are negligible; time is what is expensive. Administrative fees for the citizenship file itself are about $10, and an appeal costs up to $10. The main costs are eight years of living in the country, documents, apostilles, notarizations and sworn translations.
| Cost item | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Approval or renewal of temporary residence | ~$90, every year | Service for Foreigners' Affairs |
| Permanent residence | ~$120 | Service for Foreigners' Affairs |
| Administrative fees in the citizenship case | ~$10 | depends on the entity and authority |
| Language exam, translations, apostilles, certificates | depends on the test center and the country of origin | paid by the applicant |
| Support | quoted after reviewing the documents | Murblz specialists |
Statutory deadlines are short; in practice things take longer. Here is the chain for an applicant with no Bosnian roots.
| Step | Statutory deadline | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| First temporary residence | 60 days if filed in BiH, 90 days via a consulate | the Service for Foreigners' Affairs checks the ground, housing, means, insurance |
| Five years of temporary residence | annual renewals | absences of no more than 10 months in total |
| Permanent residence | 60 or 90 days for a decision | language exam, means, insurance |
| Three years of permanent residence | 3 years | taxes paid, no convictions |
| Application and guarantee | 60 days from a complete file | security vetting, consent of the Ministry of Civil Affairs |
| Renouncing prior citizenship | up to 2 years while the guarantee is valid | procedure at one's own country's consulate |
| Admission decision | takes effect 2 months after it is sent to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, unless the Ministry objects | then ID card and passport |
Example calculation: temporary residence approved in 2026, permanent residence no earlier than 2031, a citizenship application no earlier than 2034. Several more months go to the guarantee, renouncing Russian or Ukrainian citizenship and the decision. A realistic horizon is about nine years.
Small fees, an 8-year path
The law does not prevent pursuing Bosnia and Herzegovina citizenship on your own. But mistakes cost more than the fees: remote work without a permit does not count towards residence, more than 6 months abroad in a row or 10 months in total breaks the five years of temporary residence, and entity authorities return files with incomplete certificates and translations. Murblz support removes these risks: we pick a residence ground that counts in full, handle annual renewals, track days outside the country and prepare the permanent residence and citizenship files. We guarantee professional work and a transparent process, and in most cases a result on the first filing.
The support fee depends on your residence ground and stage of the path; a manager will calculate it in the chat.
What a Bosnia and Herzegovina passport gives: visa-free countries and the EU
The BiH passport opens 123 destinations visa-free, with a visa on arrival or with an electronic travel authorization. That is 9 more than the Russian passport (114) and 19 fewer than the Ukrainian one (142). The main thing it adds for a Russian is visa-free Schengen: BiH citizens have traveled to the EU for 90 days in any 180 since December 2010.
| Passport | Visa-free destinations | Citizenship by investment |
|---|---|---|
| Serbia | 135 | no |
| North Macedonia | 127 | formally yes, the EU demands closure |
| Montenegro | 127 | program closed |
| Bosnia and Herzegovina | 123 | no, only particular benefit |
| Russia | 114 | - |
| Turkey | 112 | yes |
| Ukraine | 142 | - |
Without a visa or with a visa on arrival, the BiH passport covers the entire Schengen area and almost all of the EU: only Ireland requires a visa. Also open are Turkey, China, the UAE, Serbia, Montenegro, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Singapore and Malaysia. Visas are needed for the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan, Mexico and Kazakhstan.
The country became an EU candidate in December 2022, and in March 2024 the European Council decided to open accession talks. Membership is a long way off, but EU conditions already shape visa policy. Brussels wants BiH to end visa-free entry for countries outside the EU's visa-free list, Russia included. The European Commission says BiH promised to scrap one such visa waiver a year until 2027, while Republika Srpska openly opposes ending visa-free travel with Russia.
More on the strength of regional passports is in our passport ranking for 2026.
Taxes and military service: what BiH residents and citizens face
Citizenship by itself creates no tax: tax is paid by those who become BiH tax residents, meaning they actually live there. On an eight-year road to a passport almost everyone becomes one. Income tax is low, but employee contributions take almost a third of the salary.
| Tax | Federation of BiH | Republika Srpska |
|---|---|---|
| Personal income tax | 10%, residents pay on worldwide income | 8%; small entrepreneurs pay 2% of annual turnover |
| Employee contributions | 31%: pension 17%, health 12.5%, unemployment 1.5% | 31%: pension 18.5%, health 10.2%, unemployment 0.6%, child protection 1.7% |
| VAT | 17%, uniform nationwide | 17%, uniform nationwide |
In Brčko District income tax is also 10%. The 2026 rates follow the income tax laws and the Republika Srpska Law on Contributions (Zakon o doprinosima). A detailed breakdown is on our page taxes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and a comparison with other countries is in taxes by country.
A separate question for men of draft age: there has been no compulsory military service in BiH since 1 January 2006, and the army is professional. In December 2024 Defense Minister Zukan Helez spoke of possibly bringing conscription back after Serbia and Croatia announced plans to introduce it, but admitted it would be hard to implement given the country's complex structure. For citizens of Russia and Ukraine something else matters more: until renunciation of their citizenship is complete, no BiH passport is issued, and their obligations to their own country remain at that stage.
Bosnia and Herzegovina citizenship for Russians and Ukrainians
For Russians, BiH is one of the few countries on the EU's doorstep that still lets them in without a visa: under a 2013 agreement they can stay up to 30 days within 60 days of first entry. Ukrainian citizens, according to the BiH foreign ministry, may also stay 30 days visa-free within two months. That is enough for a scouting trip, not for living: a move requires a residence permit, and the first application is usually filed through a BiH consulate.
| Question | Citizens of Russia | Citizens of Ukraine |
|---|---|---|
| Visa-free entry | 30 days within 60, 2013 agreement | 30 days within two months |
| Gain from a BiH passport | visa-free Schengen, 123 destinations versus 114 | fewer destinations: 123 versus 142; worth it only if living in BiH |
| Dual citizenship | no treaty, renouncing Russian citizenship is required | no treaty, renouncing Ukrainian citizenship is required |
| Language | B1 exam; Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian are Slavic languages, noticeably easier for a Russian speaker to learn than non-Slavic ones | the same |
| Political risk | the EU is pressing for an end to visa-free travel with Russia; particular benefit applications by Russians have become scandals | lower, but the general route is the same |
The uncomfortable truth is that for a Ukrainian citizen a BiH passport adds almost nothing to mobility while requiring them to give up Ukrainian citizenship. For a Russian citizen it brings Schengen access, but at the price of eight years of living in the country, renouncing Russian citizenship and the risk that the visa regime for Russians changes before the road ends.

What changed in 2025-2026
The citizenship law itself did not change in 2025-2026, yet more happened around it than in the previous decade. All the changes concern either former citizens or the particular benefit clause, not ordinary naturalization.
| Date | Event | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 17.09.2025 | Russian national Lyudmila Budilova receives citizenship on particular benefit grounds; her company EVA Genesis is registered with capital of one convertible mark | the particular benefit clause draws public criticism |
| 22.05.2026 | Jasmin Imamović's amendments on restoring citizenship to former citizens are sent to the House collegium for reconciliation after failing to win the required support of MPs from both entities | the political split reaches even the diaspora |
| 30.06.2026 | the House of Representatives passes the amendments at first reading | former citizens may face three conditions instead of twelve |
| 30.07.2026 | the Council of Ministers drops Ilya Perekopsky's application and several similar ones from the agenda; the draft of a new particular benefit rulebook fails the first vote | the investor route has become politically risky |
| 23.09.2026 | Montenegro decides to end visa-free entry for citizens of Russia, Belarus and Turkey from 1 November 2026; EU pressure on BiH along the same line continues | visa-free entry for Russians in BiH may prove temporary |
The number of visa-free destinations for the BiH passport stayed the same in 2026 at 123.
Who Bosnian citizenship suits and what to choose instead
BiH citizenship suits those who plan to live in the country anyway: working on a permit, running a company with local staff, married to a BiH citizen or with a Bosnian parent. For them the passport is a natural result, not a goal that a move is invented for.
It does not suit anyone looking for a quick second passport for money: there is no such program, and the particular benefit clause is a political lottery with a unanimous government decision. It does not suit those unwilling to give up Russian or Ukrainian citizenship. Nor those who need an EU passport rather than a candidate country's.
| Goal | What to consider instead of BiH | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Citizenship by investment with a clear amount | Turkey, Caribbean programs in all citizenships | a fixed investment threshold set in the rules |
| A Balkan passport | North Macedonia, Serbia | North Macedonia formally keeps an investment option, Serbia's passport is stronger for visa-free travel |
| An EU passport by descent | Romania, Bulgaria | full EU citizenship |
| Just move first | Serbia residence permit, residence permits by country, digital nomad visas, talent visas | status usually takes months, not years |

How to get Bosnia and Herzegovina citizenship: step by step
Choose a residence ground
Employment on a permit, a company with five local employees per foreigner, marriage or family. A student permit counts at half, remote work without a permit does not count.

Apply to the Service for Foreigners' Affairs, usually through a BiH consulate. The statutory decision period is 60 days in the country or 90 via a consulate, fee about $90.
Five years of temporary residence
Annual renewals on the same ground. Absences of no more than 10 months in total or 6 months in a row.
Permanent residence
Language exam, means, housing, insurance, criminal record certificates. Fee about $120.
Three years of permanent residence and the application
The file goes to the entity authorities. Security vetting, consent of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, then a guarantee of admission valid for two years.
Renouncing prior citizenship and the decision
Renounce Russian or Ukrainian citizenship through your own country's consulate. Once proof is provided, the decision is issued, followed by an ID card and a passport.
