Well AT, Where are your grandparents from? do you have any affiliation to Europe? By large the easiest way is finding a europeen woman and marrying her..  Wink

The term 'easiest' is very subjective. some people may find it easy to invest 750,000 quid and moving to the UK, while some may find it easier to prove that their granparents were sephoradic jews and then move to spain for 2 years. 

What is your main parameter for attributing a method as easy?

you're right. i'll be more specific:

1. i'm willing to invest about 3000$ in the process.

2. i don't have any relevant ancestors from Europe.

3. i would prefer a British passport, but i would settle for any EU country just as well.

4. i'm not in a hurry. it can take as much time as it should, as long as i don't have to actually live in another country for too long just for that (i am willing to be there from time to time and for medium periods of time).

The easiest way I know about is to marry an Italian citizen and live in Italy for 6 months.

Most European countries no longer give out passports to descendants of citizens who have emigrated (indeed, just being born in a European country is not automatically a guarantee of citizenship and until recently many countries stripped expatriates of citizenship once they obtained citizenship of another country - you couldn't hold dual citizenship where one of them was Swedish, as late as 2000, and I know that is true for several other countries.)

The other answers telling you to get into a relationship with a citizen and move here, are true to a point, but I can tell you from experience that at least this countries government will be all up in your business checking it's a real relationship. Also, you need to have been in the relationship and apply for residency first before moving here, the application normally has to be done from your home country.

The easiest way is to get a job here, get yourself sponsored with a work visa, and look for a permanent job (or permanent relationship) once you get here.

Also, don't forget that "Europe" is a whole lot of countries.  The rules aren't the same everywhere, some places are tougher than others, but nearly all of them have a national immigration service website, in English, where you can look at the requirements to gain citizenship.

If I recall correctly you can get citizenship in the Czech Republic if you own a business there for a certain amount of time(I dont remember how long...), so you could by an apartment and sublet it(it's considered a business), you will only have to go there every few months, and after a while you'll get your citizenship.
