text: which is the easiest eu countries to become a citizen of? and which is the one you can get it within 5 years? i would give a shot to the new member countries, hungary poland, slovenia. but probably - maybe this is a bit risky solution i would try to gain citizenship in a country which is not a eu member at the moment, but has a very good chance to join. but the citizenship process is not easy, and forget that any country - at least within th eu - will hand it like candy. if it`s important for your further wellbeings i`ll try to provide you with more assistance, as recently i am still a eu citizen ( living in australia ) but have fairly good idea about the process. feel free to ask! ( how ? i don`t really use my yahoo adress, so u can post a question personally to this one vanyekbela@yahoo.com. i`m not sure if it requires a au at the end. all the best anyway
