For anyone looking to obtain citizenship of an EU country (in order to work at the EU for example), Spain is an interesting option.
Natural born citizens of former Spanish colonies are eligible to apply for Spanish citizenship after only two years of residency in Spain.
I met a Spanish government employee recently and mentioned this situation to him and that I have Dominican citizenship. He encouraged me to obtain Spanish citizenship.
He said the laws in Spain are rarely enforced as written. He doubts the enforcement of the "natural born" requirement and said it would be possible to continuing living elsewhere during the two-year residency period.
Does anyone have experience with this?
