For some reason, people all around the world just love the idea of having a European passport and all the benefits that go with it.
Unfortunately, the process of getting it is, in most cases, rather complicated, slow and expensive, but there are some ways to speed things up:
1:28 - Citizenship by investment programs (CBI) in Malta and Cyprus where you'll need to invest a lot of money in real estate, bonds, and give other donations, but the process will be rather fast in comparison to other options;
4:00 - Golden Visa residency programs in different European countries. Our favorite is Portugal, where you don't have to invest a lot of money, only a basic level of the Portuguese language is required and you can become naturalized in 6 years in total;
6:37 - New CBI programs in Montenegro and Moldova that may be your wild-card strategy, since they're still not part of the European Union, but it's expected that they'll become so in the near future.
