Are you looking to immigrate to Europe? Let's discuss below which are the easiest European Union citizenship to acquire and how you can get them the fastest possible way.
What is the so called European citizenship?
Before we get to the list of the countries, we should understand what is the concept of European citizenship. European citizenship basically refers to having the citizenship of a country which is currently part of the European Union.
There is no European passport per se, one always has a passport from an EU country, such as Poland, and because of that, you are an EU citizen. If Poland were to leave the EU, your nationality wouldn't change, but you would be no longer be an European Union citizen.
This is exactly what happened to UK citizens. Once the UK left the European Union, its citizens became non-EU citizens, while keeping the British nationality. Currently, if a Brit decides to move to Belgium for example, it will be treated as a non-EU citizen just like Americans, Canadians, Japanese, etc.
01:20 Portugal
Portugal is in my opinion the easiest European citizenship to acquire. There are a number of reasons making Portugal the easiest choice if you are a non-EU citizen and you want to become an European Union citizen.
The first advantage of Portugal is that you can apply for citizenship after 5 years of continuous residence in the country. This is the shortest time currently in the European Union, if you don't fall in an exceptional case (marriage, citizens of former colonies, refugees).
Moreover, Portugal has more relaxed residency laws than most other EU countries. It is one of the easiest places to immigrate if you are from outside the European Union and get your first residence permit. It is still possible to come to Portugal as a tourist, get an official job contract and change your status to a resident as of 2021 (for visa exempt countries).
You can read more about Portuguese citizenship here.
02:10 Malta
Malta is a good option if you have plenty of money, and don't want to wait too long to grab your European Union passport. To acquire Maltese citizenship, one should invest somewhere between 600.000 to 750.000 euros in a fund determined by the Maltese government. If you invest 600.000, you can acquire Maltese citizenship in 3 years. For those investing 750k, you can get your Maltese passport within one year.
There are a number of other requirements to get EU citizenship in Malta through this program. You still have to either own property in Malta for five years, or rent a residence in Malta for five years. There are also minimum requirements on the property price or rental per year. You need to keep the property for five years and also do the non-refundable investment to qualify.
03:02 Belgium
Belgium is another country you should consider, if you want to get an European passport relatively quickly. After 5 years of continuous residence in Belgium you will be eligible to apply for citizenship in Belgium.
One of the advantages of Belgium is that time studying in the country will count towards citizenship. So in theory you can come to study in an university in Belgium, finish your degree, get a job, and once 5 years have passed, you will be able to apply for citizenship.
Getting a new citizenship is something relatively complex, and in some cases you can speed up your process:
EU Citizenship Through Marriage
There is a myth that if you marry a citizen of a given country, you can automatically apply for citizenship. While this used to be true some decades ago, it is not the case anymore for European Union countries.
However, marrying an EU citizen will oftentimes facilitate your naturalization process. In most countries, getting married to a national of a EU country will reduce the number of years you need to reside in a given country before you can apply for citizenship.
EU Citizenship Through Ancestry
Another option, which is pretty popular in North and South America as well as in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa is getting EU citizenship through ancestry. In many EU countries, you can get citizenship if you have a grandparent or even a great-grandparent was born in an EU country.
EU Citizenship by Birth
Most European countries determine the nationality of its citizens through jus sanguinis. That means, being born in any EU country will not give you citizenship right away as it does in the US or Canada.
I’m British and just got my Belgian citizenship. The major benefit of getting any EU citizenship is that you can move to any of the 27 EU countries easily. Just needed 5 years of living and working in Belgium. Technically you need to speak some French or Dutch but via the 5 year work route they assume that you speak one of the languages due to the fact you’ve worked in Belgium for 5 years. I only speak English
So I don’t need French or Dutch to get belgian Citizenship?
just move to ireland for 5 years
Bro stop being lazy and learn French
@@mynameis6326 Nein, danke
wow awesome!
Thanks for filling out the description!!
The easiest route is to get a masters in France. If you live for 2 years after doing your masters while working you get citizenship
It is a route indeed. But you also need to wait 2-3 years after you apply to get it, and find grounds to stay there while you wait.
Well not only masters right? Bachelors and any University degree counts! From what my embassy told me when I helped a friend.
@@bananacheesecake6821 yes it counts.
Money is the problem..
hi, I have a question. is it important that it's master's in France or master's from Austria works too?
Thank you very much for your helpful review-greetings from Verona - Italy.
It is easy as we hear from outside,but living in the country you will see that it's all a different story. The requirements to apply for citizenship in various countries are totally difficult to get them,and will finally cost you more years than as we hear in the air.
That is why one should go to forums where people share their experience
Anyone born in Portugal to a legal resident automatically becomes portuguese. Anyone born in Portugal to an illegal migrant living here for more than 1 year automatically becomes portuguese. Parents get resident permit and even citizenhip though their children
Money solves many of these problems..
Hey, I was living in the states, and thanks to this video I started to thinking about it two months ago; today i'm writing this comment while waiting for tomorrow when I will be starting a job in construction here in Portugal. Minimum wage, but excited for the new life. Thanks.
wow glad to hear. Hope you will enjoy it!
No matter where ever you live you still have to pay taxes to the US
Excited for you! I wish I can find a job! But it is so hard to find a teaching job in EU countries!

@@kunaldharmendrakumar1792 yes
Nice one thanks for the information 👍 😊😊
Great info..thanks
Few things to note.
For the Netherlands and Spain, it's important to note that you may not be eligible for dual citizenship, Also Portugal has high taxes
@You Tube yep i know people who hold dual nationality as well but it’s not everyone can there are circumstances that’s why I used thé word may 🙂
@You Tube i have spanish nationality and i want to tell you that its so hard to take, takes many many years

Is incredible to me the time this video mentions, it's almost as Canada for example, in case you enter as a postgraduate student.
I think Belgium citizenship process will take long time 📝

Nice, I'm excited to finally leave the states
Currently working on Polish citizenship through ancestry. My paternal grandfather was born in Poland and immigrated to the US after the war. Hoping it works out as I am going to be studying abroad in France starting in Jan and would like to stay in EU after.
My grandfather is from croatia and left before 1991 which makes me able to apply for a citizenship based on lineage without knowing the language fully or living there. So i just started collecting the documents to apply for one, but its just for fun as I am already a Norwegian and Swedish citizen
...your family history is probably bizarre
Congratulations you going be the next balkanian man

Hi sir, we live in YS and thinking of moving to Portugal, 2 questions: first heard that there r new laws starting July 2021, is that true?
Second: I have kids in high school, so are there good international schools? And in which cities? The same for Universities? And do they teach in English?
Thank you and sorry for asking too many Q.s!
Every year they are making amendments to the law to adjust it to the demand and the best interests of the Portuguese economy and society. For international school the best shots are definitely Lisbon and Porto. If you have more questions please contact me through the website checkinprice.com/contact/ or clarity.fm/jonstotz1
Yes internationals schools exist here.
Also for children. Anyone born in Portugal to a legal resident automatically becomes portuguese. Anyone born in Portugal to an illegal migrant living here for more than 1 year automatically becomes portuguese. Parents get resident permit and even citizenhip though their children
Hi.... what is your opinion about the Romania. Is it easy to get citizenship in Romania for non EU 's.
Is there a cure for the curse named Bosnian passport 😅 We are so close to the EU, but so far
As a bioengineer, could I get a job in any EU country?
Pls make make video on business opportunity in EU countries . I think now a days any of these EU countries won't let other immigrants to give civilianship because things are too much challenging to handle their own native people life style. Which I appreciate their decisions. Don't assume that I'm racist but facts are facts. So pls make videos on business opportunity to these countries specially what to export or start business . I'm happy to be an Indian and proud of it
I disagree with you,the constitution is there,and if you are qualified you may surely have your citizenship,unless they change the constitution. Although it may take a long period to receive it.
No mention of being fluent in the national language, or compulsory national service the moment you become a citizen (if you are a man).
very few countries in Europe have compulsory military service. The national language you should learn in almost all cases of naturalization.
@You Tube There are lots of them in the UK.
@You Tube Here is the problem... I do not want to blame you or whatever but some people seem to not realize how people are just interested in the citizenship and then leave the country that accepted them.
There are MILLIONS of people going to EU countries who get the citizenship without knowing A1 level of the language.
Esse lóqui que fez o vídeo tem sotaque de Brasileiro, é nóis.
é nóis.
😂😂😂
Thanks. We have got EU passports.
Hello you might be busy but I'm so excited about the possibility of gettin' Spanish Citizenship.
I hold myself 3 nationalities.
American by birth ✨️
And got the other ones by Naturalization.
Obviously the American one wont help me get citizenship in Spain in the 2 years framework.
But the other 2 citizenships I've been holding correspond to former Spanish colonies.
Being Mexican Citizenship and Guatemalan Citizenship.
Now my question is:
Being American by birth, do i qualify to get Spanish citizenship in the 2 year time-lapse by only applying with one of the other nationalities instead and if possible with wich nationality should i apply the mexican one or the guatemalan one, which one would help me get Spanish Citizenship if possible of course.
I'll be waiting for your answer.
Thanks in advance.
Hello. Nice job on getting 3 citizenships. Individual cases are only assessed on consultations. Feel free to book one to discuss this and more. Best regards.
I would love to do masters in library science, which country is my best option?
India is best for you.
The Vatican 🇻🇦
If you study a master's degree in luximberg , do you count those years into the years needed to obtain citizenship??? or not
Yes it counts
My dad's maternal grandmother was born in Romania. But, left the country and came to the UK before 1991, where she lost her Romanian citizenship and became British. Does that count me as eligible?
That is no so straightforward, you need to see the dates of birth of everyone involved and what documents you have from them. There is a good chance you are eligible but you need to assess your individual case.
All 4 of my grandparents were born in Italy, however it seems daunting to apply for citizenship. What reliable companies will assist in this process?
you can contact me
I want to move to Norway, or maybe the Netherlands
If you get a Spanish speaking countries passport by naturalization, can you still apply Spanish passport after two years residence?
Yes, but if you do that, it will add up to almost the same time as if you just go to Spain and spend 10 years there and apply. Maybe you will have a slight advantage of 1 or 2 years. I'd prefer to go straight to Spain and secure a PR first.
As far as i know, only natural born citizens can do it. But if thats the case, I think your best bet is Argentina, where you only need 2 years residence for citizenship and therefore it would only take you around 5 years for being able to apply for spanish citizenship. Be aware that Spain only allows citizenship with ex colonies so you would only be able to keep the argentine nationality but renounce to your other citizenships you have
But you must know that you'll lose your original citizenship (Spain has restrictions on that). Where are you originally from, by the way?
Unfortunately no, Spain only allows the fast path if you're a natural-born citizen of one of those countries. Being a naturalized citizen is not enough.
How about for filipinos want to get citizenship
There are some mythologies about Belgian citizenship. After five years of *paying taxes and social security* you can *begin* the process of applying. I have two friends here that got theirs after 10 and 12 years respectively. I have another friend who has not managed to do so after 21 years. I am 7 years here and I am giving up the process realizing that it is not worth the time, expense, and continuous frustration from the adversarial attitudes of the civil service. For some unknown reason, they treat you as an opponent or criminal that they need to outmaneuver.
The time requirement is indeed just part of the process. Once you live the number of years needed you are eligible to apply, that doesn't mean that you will get it fast, or that you will get it at all. In many countries like Spain, Italy and Belgium the process, after you become eligible takes on average 2 years. The time requirement is just one of the requirements as well. One needs to fulfill everything to get it.
If i study a master's degree in Portugal, do you count those years into the years needed to obtain citizenship??? or not
And thanks
Yes.
want to have a child with eu passport only has to be born in portugal. For parents of portuguese children after 5 years living here (legally or illegally) can apply for citizenship even if all 5 years are as illegal migrants.
Nope in Belgium time studying there won’t count for that been there
I think they consider half. I mean if you study 2 years they consider one year.
Hi i want to move to Europe so how i can
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Hungary, that one sounds the easiest if you have a Hungarian ancestor.
Hi Lauren. It is easy in Hungary indeed, but it is not the easiest. Don't forget that for the simplified process of getting Hungarian citizenship by ancestry you have to speak intermediate Hungarian. I've had heard of people having trouble passing this test. For the Italian one you don't need any knowledge of the language.
I'm coming to Hungary... I need advise on how to get to hungary as an entertainer. 🎶🎼🎤
Not very easy. My grandfather was from Hungary but I have no idea where his bc is. His wife, my grandma, was from Russia and I don't think she had a bc. Hungary requires you to provide birth certificates, marriage certificates, and everything in between to validate the connection. It's not easy at all.
Are u allowed to travel to other countries when you are studying in Belgium and still get your Belgian citizenship?
yes but there is a maximum number of days you can be outside of Belgium per year in order to make the time count towards citizenship.
@@traveleconomics thank you. But do you know what is the maximum amount of day per year?
@@yachichung5536 You need to provide a complex combination of documents confirming you effectively reside in Belgium. The general rule is that during these 5 years of residence prior to your application, you can stay outside Belgium for a maximum period of 6 months (one time 6 months or several times outside Belgium not exceeding 6 months in total).
It's also easy to get a Finnish Passport (Finland - EU) - 5 years!
I assume that to get citizenship through naturalization, you need to be proficient in the local language. Finnish is not precisely known for being an easy language...
@@mscheetofighter9437 Nope but 5 years is more than enough time to be proficient enough for the naturalization process, imo
It's not just simply living there. Only under some specific types of residency. The video also mentioned that. For Finland, I heard that it depends on the type of your working contract. It's very difficult to get the type which will count towards your citizenship.
@@talachastu816 listen The Finnish citize ship is so easy to get. You have to live 5 years in the country ( there is nothing to do with residence permit's type, by law there is nothing ). Language is not a problem at all, you have plenty time to learn it. All other requirements are simple and logic and easy to satisfy. The whole process takes from 4 to 6 months and you are Finnish citizen and in same day when the decision is taken you can apply for passport and after 1 week , you will have Finnish passport. It is easy, simple and fast.
Are you sure that years of study count the years needed to obtain citizenship in Belgium?
if you work during the time of studies, and continue working after the studies are finished, yes. If you only study, apparently not.
Is it true that we can goto Portugal as a tourist in a tourist visa and get a job and then apply for temporary resident permit?? If so, where can I find the information.
It is easy if you are coming from a visa exempt country and find a job. But on a tourist visa, it is not that simple.
If i study a five years degree in Portugal, can I apply citizenship when I complete the program.
years studying count towards citizenship, but you need to show you can support yourself financially to get PR and citizenship. So ideally you can start studying, and then work and then when you hit 5 years you can apply for citizenship.
I'm thinking of studying supply chain management in belgium at antwerp management school and i got a few close relatives residing there since long time, any way they can help me get the citizenship!? Or my studies and a good job can be sufficient enough to get me the citizenship
a good job and living there for 5 years will render you eligible to apply for citizenship.
@@traveleconomics since my program is only for a year how will I be able to live for 5 years, I mean to ask about the visa process
You need to learn famish which is compulsory in the flamish area( vlanderen). Mind you Belgium speaks two languages: French and Vlamish. Make your choice
I would like to to sum up EU to 100 Countries
No mention of language tests in various countries!
Yes they are indeed necessary in almost all cases.
The thing is: you should not learn the language of the country because of a test. It should be something that comes from your heart as a way to show respect to the culture you were accepted in by entering the country.
Hi!, Im from Argentina. Does that mean i could get the spanish citizen if i live there for 2 years?
yes, but not as a student. You can apply after living 2 years. Then it takes about 1.5-2 years to actually get it.
@@traveleconomics Thank you so much!
Croatia isn't the Schengen area. Neither is Cyprus ... So you might become a EU citizen but won't get the Total Freedom of Movement ...
if you are a citizen of Cyprus or Croaita you can live in work in any country of the EU. The only difference is that one needs to show a passport or ID when crossing the broder to HR or CY from other EU countries.

My great grandmother was from Luxemburg. Is possible to apply for EU citizenship by ancestry at Luxemburg?
it might be, but it is not guaranteed. Check with their embassy in your jurisdiction.

If you want to be a airline pilot you should consider UAE, Qatar, China. They have extremely high salaries for airline pilots and low or no income tax for expat pilots.
Hi sir I'm from Liberia studying in Cyprus it's possible to fly to the Schengen area
Yes, possible, but you need a visa.
I'm British and getting French citizenship (my mother is French) not considered easiest per se, but is the route to EU citizenship open to me
if your mother is French, and she has all valid French documents now, and if she is alive, it will be extremely easy for you to get your French passport.
Which countries are the easiest to get a job? It has to be high talented or demanding jobs, right? I don't assume mandarin or English teacher will account! Sad me! Really want to move to Portugal, Holland or Germany, but I don't see there are any ways!
depends on your skills. IT, healthcare , cooking jobs for example are always in demand.
At the moment Healthcare is in higher demand
Yes, skilled workers will have a better time of it.
But in Germany, for instance, there are thousands of open apprenticeship spots every year.
Carpenter's or Bakers haven't been able to find trainees and subsequently skilled successors for years. There just aren't enough people, for one, and sure a university degree is a status symbol like everywhere else. But a lot of that's PR.
I'm quite sure this is different than in the States, for example, but a German master tradesman's certification is equal to a bachelor's degree. It qualifies the recipient for university masters programs as well. Tradesmen can make good money, more if you have your own business but a journeyman can live comfortably too. It depends on the craft, really. A hairdresser will likely make little but I knew this girl who dated a windmill technician journeyman fresh out of school and that guy had lots to spare, got to travel world wide on the company dime too. And my parents neighbor is an air traffic controller (a training profession in Germany), one of the top paying recognized trades I think, (I can see that, he's on a two week vacation in Hawaii right now & such is common for him).
It really, really depends on the field and the company how much, but apprentices do get a salary, minimum of 24 days paid vacation, healthcare and the standard social package normal outside the USA.
Foreign qualifications are notoriously hard to get recognized in Germany, but if I were planning to immigrate I'd choose an apprenticeship over or before a university programme.
Why? In German university, you're on your own and expected to manage on your own. But for an apprentice, to begin with, it's good business practice for a company to make sure their investment, so to speak, is thriving. The time spent together means they are likely motivated to get personally involved and support. If I'm in a new country with a minimal social network on location, having people care about you and give local advice is really a leg up . Your company might even help with finding an apartment or figuring out German immigration legalese, too.
I've even heard of companies offering company cars or pay for driver's ed classes (that's worth four figures btw) in order to lure good apprentices (like I said, good trainee shortage has been a problem).
All in all apprenticed I'd be alot less likely to slip through the cracks.
Money, one can argue that apprentices have more financial security than students while schooling.
Plus even if I wanted to end with an university degree I'd start with an apprenticeship (in the same field) because it improves chances of getting into limited university programs (university entrance system is called "Numerus Clausus" ) while getting practical experience with German language, culture and work culture. Going straight to Uni has a very steep German learning curve, as well, many underestimate that.
Noteworthy may also be that there are also programs that combine company employment and obtaining a University degree, so basically getting paid for studying if you will.
I haven't heard of anything like it talking to people from the USA.
Also If you end up in the country that does not automatically mean the jobs or companies are of lesser quality. Statistically salaries are higher in the city but so are living costs, so personally I don't see much give or take. Education system is good, though the school building infrastructure isn't. It's free, though and private schools are rare.
In my honest opinion mid sized towns are probably the way to go if you want to settle.
If anyone's main goal for immigration is the opportunity for a good quality of life and work-life balance then seriously looking into German apprenticeships shouldn't be forgotten.
Hello sir i have portugal passport suppose i can change another eu passport suppose i apply spain passport how many year i take passport ???
Hi, it depends from country to country. If you have Portuguese nationality you can apply for Spanish citizenship after 2 years living in Spain. But there is not much advantage in doing so. You have pretty much the same rights with Portuguese or Spanish nationality.

What about Sweden or Norway? In Sweden it seems relatively fast and there is not language requirements...
Sweden definitely easier than Norway. Norway is not in the EU though. Language wise you are correct Sweden is a good option, but overall I do not recommend Sweden because of the high cost of living and high taxes, if you are an employee or a business man you will have to invest a lot until you reach the time needed to apply.
@@traveleconomics Hi! thanks for the reply! Ohh I see, yes the cost of living is high, but I guess so are the salaries overall if you got a skilled job... At least taxes are well invested in the city, I think. Also, is there a country that might be more immigration "friendly" towards Canadians? or is it same as with US, etc.. Thanks!
@@antonk5414 if you are highly skilled I would personally move to Switzerland or the UK. Lower taxes than Sweden, tax money better used in society, higher salaries than Sweden in many fields. Better weather, less darkness.
@@traveleconomics Right, but they're not EU countries. I work in film post-production field, so perhaps Ireland, Czechia, or Germany (language though) would work better. I have citizenship from LatinAmerican country, but Spain is not very good with salaries and its overall slow system. Thank you for your input and the useful videos! :) I guess Denmark is the same as Sweden too.
@@antonk5414 I would choose Czechia without blinking an eye. High quality of life, moderate taxes, GDP growing, easy to get residency as a freelancer or if you are offered a job. Germany is pretty good if you are offered a job as well, not good for non-EU self-employed persons. Ireland cost of living is stratospheric, but it is an option if you land an extremely well paid job. Spain is a great place to enjoy life but quite unattractive to get a job and earn money in general.
Is Albania one of the EU countries . . . If so, what are their requirements for citizenship . . . ?
Albania is not in the EU at the moment.
Is there any European country that does not require a medical exam to obtain PR and citizenship? Thanks.
most countries in Europe and Latin America now do not require a medical exam for a residence permit these days.
Hello sir
Through different links and online sources I found some sites which guarantee to provide Slovenian passport within a period of 2 months . Is this policy actually from the Slovenian's government? Or is it a scam ???
There is nothing on the immigration law of Slovenia that states that this is a viable path for citizenship.
As I am a Slovenian resident it takes 10 yrs. to get Slovenian passport.

The current law makes no difference between Iberoamerican citizens who have acquired the citizenship by birth or by naturalization.

If you become a national and get a passport of an EU non-Schengen country, can you still travel freely in the Schengen area? You mentioned Ireland, which is one of them. Romania and Bulgaria are other examples (Croatia was too until recently, but it's now Schengen).
yes, if you are from Bulgaria, Romania or Ireland you can travel freely and also live and work in all other EU countries inside and outside the Schengen area.
Hi, what's the easiest or best way to move to Austria from South Africa? To study and/or work
Mathews Tebza , I'm here in Austria , nothing is going here , better stay home and strat business on your own
@@abdirashidhersi5378 Oh, are you working, studying or both?
Oh, that's crazy
Lol! Austria is one of the hardest country’s to obtain citizenship
Troy Trey is right
What about Poland?
POLAND have hard law not easy to pass
Hello are there any eastern European countries that offer easy citizenship?
North Macedonia offers citizenship by investment
@@traveleconomics I see however I'm wondering if there's an Eastern European country I could live in 5 years and obtain citizenship for example. Like Romania for example.
I think you are wrong. I'm already 5 years in Belgium (as a student) and the opportunities for student here are limitated
Depends on so many things. If you study some social science or any field where there are low demand for professionals, it is really difficult. If you study IT and you are at the top level in your specific field, it is very easy.
I think it also depends on what you studied.some degrees are very high in demand

Yes, salaries in North America, are on average higher than most EU member countries.
How one can live for years(i.e 5 or 9 years) when the is Visa allows the traveler only For months in any country ? If anybody knows plz Reply me
You get a temporary residence permit for 1 year and keep renewing it
@@traveleconomics thank u thank u thank you soo much ❤️❤️❤️.
how about Bulgaria? investing twice 512k euros (1.24M Euros) to get citizenship within 18 months to 24 months
It is viable. But if considering this size of investment, I would probably prefer Malta over Bulgaria.
Why do u need another citizenship with such wealth???
I thought easiest is Poland? What do you think what's easiest for russian?
Польша, Чехия, Словакия.
@@traveleconomics thanks
Polish citizens in not easy 10 years need to pass the way you some from your family be Polish on top you must learn Polish bye
I know a guy who got a Polish citizenship through his grandfather, even without knowing anything about the local language or culture.

There are people becoming european citizens without knowing how to say 100 words in the language of the country they chose. It's terrible how things are going...
almost 1,5 millions latin americans have become spanish citizens in the last 20 years ...
This is not something very extraordinary, considering that at least 50 million people in Latin America have at least partial Spanish ancestry.
Hi! Just a correction: Brazil is a Portuguese speaking country. 🇧🇷❤️
Oi, eu falo Portugues! Em que parte do video eu disse que no Brasil se fala outra lingua?
No 4:44 (será que entendi errado 😬), se entendi errado, me perdoe. O vídeo está muito bom! 😀
@@prontocidadaniaitaliana eu poderia ter falado melhor. Mas quis dizer, os paises que falam espanhol na LATAM, e tambem o Brasil, Guinea Equatorial, Filipinas, etc. Obrigado por assistir!
I think he separated Brazil from, “Spanish speaking countries”. It sounded like your thinking, but I think he got it
@@traveleconomics why spain gives this benefit to brazilians if they speak a different language, I mean not even in portugal they get this benefit , even though they speak portuguese in portugal you must way 5/6 years to apply for citizenship dont matter if you are from LATAM?? do you know why spain have this law and portugal doesnt???
What about Finland?
definitely not among the easiest.
@@traveleconomics Luxembourg for Non-EU Citizens?
@@Sports590 Luxembourg harder than Finland for citizenship.
Does this Apply to Indian Citizens as well?
Indians need to renounce Indian citizenship if they take up another citizen. But you can still get one as long as you are willing to give up the Indian one.
