• You'll be fine. I, on the other hand, have to persuade Cycliste to marry me if I want to spend more than 90 days at a time in Switzerland. Haven't managed to in 25 years. Can't see the odds improving.

    What's the most affordable route to an EU passport, asking for a friend?

  • Not sure these days. Ireland used to be a good option, but Cyprus seems popular with Russian oligarchs looking for an EU passport. Malta is another option I think.

  • I was looking at this too, I've got a Swiss grandparent so thought I may be able to use that but they changed the law in 2017/2018 so I've missed the boat.

  • A digression, but I wondered for a while whether there will be services offered at some point to trace ancestry back with a view to getting a passport.

    For example, I remember reading somewhere that you can claim Italian citizenship on your paternal side with no limit on how far back you go - something like that must worth some investigation for a large number of people (and presumably each EU country has different standards).

    I keep meaning to looking into mine - I can only trace it as far as Scotland for my grandparents, which in itself might be worthwhile in a couple of years time.

  • What’s the most demonstrative and conspicuously expensive route to an EU passport?
