15 Easiest Countries to Get Citizenship Without Investment

2. Ireland

Ireland is also one of the simplest countries in which to obtain citizenship. Foreign nationals may seek citizenship via residence. If you retain a work visa for five years, you may be eligible for an Irish Permanent Resident Permit. You must complete and submit a citizenship application form to the Ministry of Justice. This body determines whether or not to grant citizenship. You can also get Irish citizenship by descent if your ancestors (parents or grandparents) were born in Ireland.
