Countries which give easy Citizenship 2020

Citizenship means the nationality of a person which depends on the country where he is born. In such cases, one becomes a citizen of a nation just by being born there and in such cases, no separate fees is required. But, if a person wants dual citizenship, which means acquiring citizenship of another country while being a citizen of the native country. There are many reasons when a person needs dual citizenship, like if a person is retiring and wants to permanently shift to another country, if a person wants to travel for job or business purposes to a different nation, etc. But whatever be the reason, getting citizenship of a different country can be tedious work for many people. 

Although many countries have now streamlined the process, like cutting down the costs and asking for minimum documentation, etc.

So, here is a list of such nations which offer easy citizenship to their country:-

• Peru

Peru is one country that has easy citizenship rules. If you are living in Peru, you should be able to show your residency visa. Before going to Peru, you have to apply for the residency visa, which usually gets authorized within three months. After this, you have six months of work out of the moving plan. In two years of your stay in Peru, you can apply for permanent residency or citizenship. You will have to pay a fee of about $25,000 to attain citizenship. For this, they will ask you to take a test on subjects like culture, history, and Spanish language. All these things are not required if you are marrying a Peruvian native. In that case, you will automatically get the citizenship of Peru.

• Ireland

Ireland is another country where you can easily get citizenship. By just living in Ireland for one year, you will automatically become a citizen. But, for the next eight consecutive years, you have to stay in Ireland for at least four culminative years. In the other case, if you have some ancestral background from Peru like your grandfather is Irish, then you can easily become an Irish national. 

• Singapore

Singapore is a very bright option for getting easy citizenship. To become a permanent resident here, you can either open your own business or marry a Singapore citizen. After two years you can request for the citizenship. For males, the rule is that at a certain age they need to perform National Service in the army of Singapore. After it is completed, the male national can apply for citizenship. 

• Dominican Republic 

There are not many requirements to get citizenship of the Dominican Republic. If you are a working person and not retired, you must have an income of about $2000 per month and if you are retired, you should have a retirement income of around $1500 per month. After getting a permanent residency after fulfilling these requirements, you can apply for citizenship in two years’ time. The Dominican Republic requires the person to pass a medical exam and an interview in Spanish. The whole ordeal takes a time of three years and involves an expenditure of over $200,000, which can be taken as a drawback in this case.
