Do I need to take a language proficiency exam?

This requirement depends on the country and the program you choose. Repatriation programs, such as those in Bulgaria, Romania, or Slovenia, do not require an exam. However, naturalization programs, such as those in Portugal, Germany, or France, require official language proficiency testing.

Is it possible to obtain citizenship without being physically present?
