Easiest country to claim residency in - quicker than 2 or 3 years?
 

Anyone know some places that can do it faster than 2 or 3 years?

Nicaragua

:thumbsup

no idea, why?

It only takes 2 or 3 minutes in the UK for Polish, Pakistanis, Nigerians etc to claim residency.

Then they usually get a house for free, plus money on top of that every week for doing fuck all...

Botswana, Angola. Siera Lion is another very easy place. All you need is AK-47 and colerfull wig.

I think they can do it a bit faster in the USA.

:1orglaugh!

You should come to Argentina!

Nope, no idea.

indea ..bangaladesh :)

At one point, if I remember right, Bahamas would fast-track entrepeneurs and you could gain citinzship in 9-12 months if you invested 100k into a business that employed a couple locals.

Didn't have to be professional jobs, and could be at your home-they could be housekeepers, cooks, etc. I think they moved faster if it WAS professional types of jobs. And they DO check to make sure someone is actually working.

A couple filing requirements, but I can think of worse places to live. If they still do this, you may want to check it out.

Nassau is a 30 minute flight or so from Miami.

Panama has a residency program, get a passport in around 2 years or less I believe if you purchase a home or invest in a company

I think in the middle east country, but you try another country wherein you think you can able to adopt its culture and tradition.

Just residency alone?? ie not citizenship?

Residency is fairly quick DWB and usually involves showing a method of supporting yourself, having a clean police record (dated within - usually six months) and doing the Interpol check/fingerprints. Often when you have submitted a residency application you can live and come and go as you please until they complete the formalities.

Citizenship is a longer story - maybe up to five years. It means dealing with the "old country" and also with the "new country" in one operation.

There are other methods which don't need formal residency, but simply corp formation where you can be an employee of the corp and can legally live within that jurisdiction as long as you like.

It's a long subject :) Any particular country in mind?
