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?

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.

Swiss != EU

I've got Czech ancestry and dug around a little to see if I could get nationality that way but it is complicated by my grandmother not returning after WWII and the communists revoking her citizenship for being a splitter. My grandfather joined the British army in WWII and got killed which means his citizenship was never revoked so that might be a path.

Before WWI my grandfather was a subject of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which I think means I'm eligible for Hungarian citizenship by descent too but I would need to learn some basic Hungarian.

Both routes probably require finding and paying an in country agency to guide me through the process and since I don't expect to ever live in the EU27 there doesn't seem a lot of point. I'd kind of like it for my kids though on the off chance they ever want to leave North London.
