Context: (Use this information to understand what kind of answers I am looking for)
My goal is to obtain permanent residency in at least one European
Union nation or principality . Furthermore, I would like to do this as
soon as possible AND spend as little as possible. I am not looking
for so called economic citizenships (as they are much too expensive),
solutions that require huge capital output (again too expensive), or
marriage (too scary). I am would prefer an option that does NOT have
an in-country residency requirement (meaning you DON?T HAVE to be
living in the country to keep your residency), but this might not be
possible unless you spend a lot for the aforementioned ?economic
citizenships?.
NOTES:
1-I was born in United States, and so were my parents and grandparents.
2-The residency card should be valid for at least 5 years (ideally it
will be permanent) AND it must give me rights to work.
3-Lichtenstein, San Marino, Monaco, & Switzerland should be included as well.
4-I realize that, ?as soon as possible?, could mean 3 to 5 years, or more.
