If you are looking forward to transferring to Europe, you need to find out how hard is to get European citizenship.
To be honest, like in the rest of the world, the length of getting a citizenship mostly depends on the country you are applying for. There are several ways to get citizenship and it mostly depends on how hard are you willing to work for it. Many people even don’t want to bother to chase some papers and go to work illegally, since they are usually allowed to spend 90 days in some foreign country. Some of them even end up in arranged marriages. They find someone to pay for the marriage agreement and have to be in that marriage for a couple of years to get the citizenship legal.
On the other hand, there are the ones that want to be completely legal and are willing to start chasing papers. The European country that offers the minimum wait and requires the least paperwork to get citizenship is Sweden, especially if you come from Norway. The requirements for getting Swedish citizenship are: being older than 18, have at least 5 years of permanent residence, clear criminal record, and language knowledge.
If you fulfill these criteria, you will be getting all the privileges that people born in Sweden already have. This means long and comfortable paid vacations, parental leaves no matter if you are a father or a mother and paid insurance.
Still, if you want to try some other country out, Insider Monkey’s team prepared 7 easiest citizenships to get in Europe.
