the false marriage thingy is something they should have had in count before they started to implement the actual harder ways for residencies, i guess they just did not think not even for a moment that changes on one thing may have a influence on the other, lol.
but i can imagine that it will have a huuge influence, as false marriages/getting new "Citizens" may see a real "Boom" now.
what comes to mind, just out of curiosity, is there a timelimit how long you have to stay marriedand/or live under the same roof with the new spouse to keep the Citizenship? in some countries you would loose it again if not together with the spouse for a certain amount of years, or if authorities "hear" that they never had the intention to live together/just run a "paid" for false marriage to get some papers done. as a Gringo/Gringa married that way to their Sankie/Sankiette would then for such certain time frame "depend" on the good will of the new DR Spouse, to not loose the thingy again. if such timeline exists here, then it would be under the line cheaper and more hassle free to obtain a regular residency than to run the "Blackmail possibilities/dependency" road.
just some thoughts that come to mind, things i don't know about, hence i ask out of curiosity.
