      That depends a lot of the country. In some EU countries is rather easy and cheap.

        As a former EU citizen (UK, thanks Brexit) which countries do you think it is easy? I don’t think it is, I believe there is Malta where you can literally buy a passport and Portugal that has some lax visa laws. But gaining citizenship isn’t necessarily an easy thing to do.

          You are correct with Portugal, I found this on some website:

          Portugal is, overall, the easiest country to get citizenship of the EU.

          That’s due to the following factors:

          Short residency period of just five years before applying for citizenship
          One of the world’s most powerful passports
          Range of flexible visa options to suit remote workers, retirees and investors
          Dual citizenship OK – keep your original passport
          Easy language requirements – A2 elementary level
          Access generous tax benefits while counting up the years to citizenship
          Reasonable minimum stay requirements
          What’s more, Portugal has one of Western Europe’s lowest costs of living
