    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
