Gaining citizenship through family or through marriage is possible, but if you don’t have any useful relatives or an EU spouse you’ll be looking at getting citizenship through residency. From residency requirements to rules on dual nationality, every country in Europe has its own way of tackling naturalisation. In addition, you’ll need to provide your passport, birth certificate, a list of countries previously resided in, and a criminal record certificate with no serious convictions listed. At more than £1,300, the application fees are by far the highest of any European country, so you’ll need to be financially stable to apply. Application Fee: £1330Length of time living in country: 5 yearsLanguage level needed: B1 EnglishDual nationality allowed: Yes
