Can't you basically buy citizenship through "investment" in one of the countries?
- comrade1234 6mo agoI think more than one. I think Portugal's program is over but you can still do it in others (Greece? Romania? I can't remember). You can do it in the USA too.

- sidewndr46 6mo agoWow, that's rich. Literally. So even money can't get you in anymore. You'd need money & influence.
- archagon 6mo agoPortugal still has citizenship by investment routes, but it will take 10+ years to get actual citizenship due to changes in the law and wait times.
- CGamesPlay 6mo agoMany countries, this is often called a golden visa (term predates the current US president).
- geremiiah 6mo agoIf you're rich enough, you can buy a small local business, like a local pizzeria, and hire x amount of people or invest x amount of money and you get a permanent residence visa through investment. This path is available in pretty much countries including the US.
- tardedmeme 6mo agoSome of the more corrupt ones offer straight up money for citizenship deals. Citizenship not permanent residence, meaning you get that country's passport.
